I have the full length float tube on my 24 inch dpms upper. How do I remove the free-float tube? It came loose a few years ago and I used a craftman strap wrench to tighten it down. Now I want to remove it and that plastic wrench simply slides around. Any ideas? |

Give it a couple soft or firm (non-damaging at least) taps (with a rubber or polyurethane hammer) about an inch-and-a-half up from where the tube meets the receiver. This area is where the threads are at. As far as a tool to actually unscrew it...I just use my hands while I hold the rifle secure with my knees. I suppose you could wrap cloth/friction tape around it, and THEN try your strap wrench on it. That should give it something to hold on to. |
