R51 disassembly nono!

[1911SHOOTER]

I just received an email from Big Green.   In response to a request for a manual for disassembly of the R51. Their reply as follows.

" Sir, no we do not offer such a manual , only the owners manual . We do not recommend breaking the pistol down any further than what is  offered in the owners manual . Thank you ."

Did you really expect anything different?  I wouldn't.

I saw a computer generated video showing the full breakdown of the R51. Thought it would be a good way to deep-clean it. I was so tired of jamming, I thought it couldn't hurt.

The pins are in so tight, I feared damaging the frame, I got the pin with the hammer spring out, but didn't get the next one to budge.  Now I cannot reassemble the darn thing.  It was an unfortunate choice on my part to try this.

If you are addressing jams, it sounds like the mags are the place to focus.

I do not recommend disassembly beyond what the manual shows. If you do, best of luck.

Same thing Remington recommends.   Taking apart an R51 further than the manual says is a no-no..   There is a video on Youtube and just watching it is scary.
Hope you get it back together.  Maybe this will help.
