TR, UR was made by Colt.
Thanks!

IIRC, the end of the AR buffer tube has parallel machined flats, for a wrench. It might be a 3/4" or something smaller. I think the Brownell's tools have the proper sized wrench jaws, but I do not have one handy. A strap wrench might work, if you do not want to use an open-ended wrench.
Always helps to put some penetrating oil on the retaining threads well before you start the removal task.
Hope that helps.
