I have had an R51 for a few years and would like to view the forum to help work out some of its quirks.  Due to Covid I haven't been shooting it, and viewing the forum will be a good interest refresher.  I bought the R51 based on looks and feel in my hand.  I dislike the blocky (Glock) pistols.  I am a retired HS Industrial Arts teacher (10 yrs) and Certified Welding Inspector (22 yrs) in the Power Generation Industry.  My hobbies are golf, woodworking, metalworking, and tool repair.  I live in Oakville / South St. Louis County, MO.

Welcome to the forum!  Feel free to let us know what "quirks" you want to work out and we can point you in the right direction.  Or you can just search the forum topics.  This is a good place to get you started:

Steps to fully functional R51

Me, too. Looks overall and 'hand feel'. Just a cool retro looking gun, which is what the old Remington outfit was counting on. Too bad it didn't work out, but this site is really helpful for anyone who wants to keep, and likes, the R51.
