We have had company at our house for the last 10 days and I haven't been able to work on the AR15.
This week when things return to normal I am ready to try several methods to remove the buffer tube.
Thanks to all of you who made suggestions and I will post what works.
If anyone else has any ideas, plus feel free to add them to this post. Since it will be a few days before I can get to work on the AR15, there is time for more ideas.

Happy New Year to everyone in Indiana
