R51 Disassembly Tooling

[GerryR]

I should have 4 more sets for the standard barrel available tomorrow; I have one set available for the threaded barrel.

I just found this thread - and I'll be "calling that man tomorrow!".

Although I think the teardown/re-assembly isn't as "bad" as a Ruger Mark III from a procedural standpoint, its waaaay worse from a logistical view. Although I'm not one to normally quote the man, in this case Adolf Hitler's quotation is apropos: "I'd rather have 3 teeth pulled than to go through that again!".

He probably suspects that Fegelein designed the pistol to make his life miserable! 😂😂

So THAT'S why Fegelein was shot! 

Order placed!

Used the tools for the 1st time so I could replace the trigger - they make working on this pistol SANE, its now as easy as my CZ-75! THANK YOU - *MUCH* better!!!!!

I know, I know....tooling can assist those with special needs but really, it doesn't have sound that difficult to disassemble and assemble an R51.

Some of us old timers have arthritic hands; try taking one apart under these conditions.  Others just don't believe everything has to be done the hard way; tools make life a little easier!

I guess I have "special needs" then, because I don't have 3 hands and my prehensile tail is too short. I've never seen a pistol that is such a PITA to deal with, and I've seen a few, including the notorious Ruger Mark III which is nowhere near as bad.

It really doesn't give me any problems.

I am definitely interested. I've shot the crap out of my R51 and it IS a joy to fire. The reassembly though has given me some problems. I'll say one thing, my R51 works very well when it's dirty.

[FlatEarther]

Looks like he may have a new site...
https://dangerco.us/

EDIT ... the above site is for barrels and triggers

[GerryR]

I am still making the tools, but am out of stock right now.  I will have some available next week.  I no longer have a website; the website that FlatEarther posted is the person that makes threaded barrels and triggers for the R51.

You can contact me through private message, and I will send you my email address.  Pricing is $55.00 for the standard or threaded barrel tool and one thumb-pusher or $75.00 for both barrel tools and one thumb-pusher, plus $5.00 shipping to the lower 48 states.

I now have a few sets available, if interested.
