Hi all, I decided to start a new thread to try to get the "up to the minute" report on the R51. I've now owned mine for 4 months, and as you may have seen in my videos, it took a trip back to Remington to resolve the issues I was having with it. I don't know just when my pistol was actually manufactured, I would guess last winter or early spring. At this point, I'm wondering if Remington is taking the information they are gleaning from the pistols that are being returned and incorporating changes to eliminate issues from the R51's they are building now. So to flush that out, who has the most recently manufactured R51 and how is it functioning?

Hi all! For any of you who were curious to know what Remington did to improved the functioning of my R51, check out the video below. In it, I disassembled the pistol and inspected it to see what was done. You might also want to see if you can spot anything I missed!

Well, they say the thrid time is a charm! I headed out to the range today for the thrid time with the R51, and I did a little more "on the range" gunsmithing. To see how it went, follow the link below!

Here's a video link to my second range test of the R51. At this point, I've taken on this little pistol as a bit of a project to see if I can make if run reliably. If any of you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know!

Hi all! Last weekend I purchased a brand new R51 at a local gun show (for more on that story, check out my post in the new members introduction section). I've had a youtube channel for several years that is devoted to firearms and shooting related topics, so I was looking forward to recording how the R51 performed. If you're interested in seeing the performance yourself, just click on the link. Also, be sure to share your thoughts as well (on both the video and the pistol). I always welcome feedback.

Hi folks! I just joined the forum and I'm a new R51 owner. I've been intrigued by the R51 a since it was first unveiled by Remington back in 2014, but due to the reported problems with it, I held off on purchasing one. Last weekend I happened across one of the Smoke/Gray versions at a local gun show, and the price was $289. That was enough to prompt me to take the plunge and see how the R51 performs in it's current iteration. I'm going to post a link to my youtube video under the R51 general discussion sub-forum. If you would like to see how the new pistol did, please check out my video.
