This is probably really easy...
I am swapping out an A2 stock for a collapsable stock on my Match H Bar lower. I am unable to remove the tube that screws into the lower. Is there any tricks to this??? I have tried everything, and this baby is in there!

Thanks

The tube is staked into the receiver, you will need to use a dremil to remove the stake in the tube.  Also, use a Heat gun on the tube just before the receiver to break any loctite bond if it was used.

Bottom line is to use a lower vise block, and a armors wrench on the back flats of the receiver extension to remove the tube after you have removed the stakes, and broken the loctite bond.

Hey Dano523,
Thanks for the reply. It literally took me about four hours of muscle to break this thing loose! It probably would have helped if I had the proper tools. All done now. New stock and upper on. Shoots like a dream.

Thanks,
