Removing spacer in buffer tube

[cav.]

Hay guys,

I bought a real steel Armalite buffer tube for my WE M4 CQB-R, and I noticed there is some sort of plastic spacer in the stock tube. My question is, how do you get this thing out so I could put it into the new tube?

Cheers

All you need is a long screwdriver or something of the sort, and push it out the receiver end via the end cap hole.
And if you put a small amount of lube on the outer surface your reinstall will be so much easier.

I must not be pushing the spacer hard enough then

@Hectic: I didn't realize it at first, but I was just holding the stock buffer and noticed the end was heavier, so I decided to take a look.

I found out there was a buffer when I installed the new receiver extension, put the rifle back together, charged it... then realized I'd jammed the BCG so far into the extension I had to disassemble the rifle around it. Good times.
