CA7 buffer tube removal, have tried heat nail polish, wont come off!!!
Franklin Armory CA7 how do you remove the buffer tube? Have had it in a vice, Have put a torch to it , Have put a heat gun to it, Marred up the pistol tube. Dont care its throw away. But Im trying so hard to unscrew it Im worried to bend the lower receiver. I m at a complete loss.
Answer: Heat Gun 2 times 5 minutes. Torch 2 times 5 minutes would not budge. Then cooled down finally came apart with a pipe wrench and the tube is tossed. Man just put a castle nut already. Last edited by citizenfour; 03-07-2021 at 6:26 PM.. |

If you heat up BOTH PARTS, they both expand and you don't get any temperature differential expansion. Heating only the reciever will make the receiver expand which frees up the thread fit, making it easier to unscrew.

Some people like to keep the original parts without any damage so they could put the gun back to factory stock at some point in the future if needed.

The buffer tube retains the endplate without a nut. Franklin Armory does put loctite on the threads.
