General Discussion / Remington rifle question
January 20, 2021, 07:30:36 PM
Long shot question but here goes:
I have a Remington model 760 30-06 pump rifle.  For those of you not familiar with this model, it is very similar to a Remington 870 pump shotgun, but it is a rifle. Does anybody know how hard or easy it would be to remove the barrel? I want to send the barrel off to get the muzzle threaded.

I've been window shopping the net for a M1A. Don't really need another truck gun / ranch gun but the M1A just has an appeal to it. I have a Remington 760 16" barrel pump in 30-06 that is my nighttime hog gun, have a nice .270 deer rifle, have a model 92 lever in .45 colt, numerous  22rifles..., an Ar-15 ,,......But I'd sure like an M1A.
Anybody got one and do you like it?

General Discussion / Gun sales

Well the NRA is stating that there were 2 1/2 million gun sales in March 2020 which is an all time record. Gun stores report many sales are first time buyers. I wonder how many of the remaining inventory of R-51's sold?

Did anyone else get a " bandwidth exceeded" message when trying to logon here the last few days of January?

R51 General Discussion / New member with questions
January 01, 2020, 05:42:15 PM
Hi, just ordered a R51 and need to find out what ammo these pistols like.
Break-in and range FMJ ammo; will it feed steel cased? What works?
Bullet weight; 115, 124, or 135 grain?
Carry ammo; does Hornady Critical Defense / Critical Duty feed well?
I've read the posts on fixing the possible magazine and other possible problems. Good info.

I'm hoping this gun will run reliable enough for me to make it one of my carry pieces.

More questions later.

Hi all,
I just ordered a R51 and found this forum. Sixty years old and been shooting since I was five. Retired  after 30+ years in Texas law enforcement. Looking forward to learning the quirks and operation to this model. I'll be asking questions about the pistol so I can learn from those who have been there / done that with the R51. Hoping I get a good one that can become part of my dependable carry choices.
