58. Removal. To remove the receiver extension from the lower receiver, proceed as follows:

When clamping the lower receiver in a vise, ensure that the vise is closed over a solid

portion of the receiver body. Tighten the vise only sufficiently to provide a firm grip on the

receiver.

a. Carefully clamp the lower receiver in a vise equipped with protected jaws;

b. Using the combination wrench and a 1/2 inch drive ratchet, unscrew the receiver

extension in a counter-clockwise direction. See Figure 3-2-52; and

NOTE

Unscrewing the receiver extension will release the buffer assembly retainer and spring.

Cover the receiver, to prevent the loss of these parts, as the extension is disassembled.
