Kirk,
Did you change your web name? 
Blackie

Nope.  I've been using the same handle online for the last 20 years or more.

Kirk,
My bad, IO thought I read a different handle under one of your posts.  Another Brain Fart!

I'm in the Houston area.

lived in Houston for 20 years. Got too Crowded.
Now I can walk out on the back porch and shoot coke cans.  Closest neighbours, 1/2 mile!

Just thought I would post again the URL for my clamp I use to take down my R51.
In case any more old farts like me need help.

I tried this. Worked great in the take down stage. Still had a dickens of a time putting it back together......sigh. I'll get the hang of it. Next range time is Thursday so another learning opportunity presents itself.http://r51pistol.com/Smileys/default/cool.gif

This spring clamp really helps!

I push the slide lock out with a small home made tool consisting of a wine cork with the end of a chopstick glued into the end. Looks like a stubby ice pick w/a flat end. I just use it to start pushing the slide out while the spring clap holds the slide.

Tucker,
     Not a bad idea.  With all the good ideas us guys/gals come up with on here, maybe we should start a consulting company for R51s?  :<}
