Unfortunately, with just that little bit of damage, the stock *does* come off without a significant pull by just depressing the adjustment latch!
I put some epoxy on the lip, and sanded the rest of the buffer tube. It runs a *LOT* smoother now, but there is still something that is causing to not pull out smoothly. When completely collapsed, it requires a fair amount of force (it used to require quite a bit more...). I actually didn't have to sand down the epoxy; the MOE stock has quite a bit of headspace there.
After sanding the tube, it pulls out with little force *after* the 2nd or third pin stop. There might be a slight bend in the tube; I might sand it some more. However, right now, I can move the stock using my off-hand thumb until it gets to the 2nd pin stop..
It may be a while before I am "confident" that the fix worked 100%, but for now, I appreciate the comments, feedback and recommendations!
