General Discussion / Finally got it out to the range
January 22, 2019, 06:46:55 PM
I had broken in the magazines with some loading and unloading.  Bent the tab that holds the follower back a bit and took a flat file to the tab before heading out.  Also did a disassembly and lube first.  Took pictures of everything "as found" before any rounds through it.

100 rounds of S&B 124 gr.
50 rounds of Rem UMC 115 gr.
50 rounds of Browning 115 gr.

Zero jams.  One instance of magazine dropping after first round, clearly my fault since it never happened again.

On the first magazine ever, it did not go into battery by pulling the slide back from the slide stop position and letting go.  I just used the slide release lever after that.

Shot 4 mags of 7+1 just fine.  The mag took some coaxing but it definitely worked.

No steel case ammo because it is not allowed at this particular range.

Nice outing!  I'll shoot it again this week before I try taking it apart to clean it.  The only noticeable thing is lots of scratch marks on the spring bushing.  I suppose that is normal from any manufacturing burrs on the slide?

New R51 owner.  Haven't even shot it yet since I want to disassemble and take some pics first. Hopefully I got a good one.

I am also on the Carolina Firearms Forum as this same username.
