hoping to get the r51 to go with my model 51
Me too. Returned my first one and have been waiting years and years and years for Remington to send a replacement.
Welcome to the forum. I returned mine finally took the R1 replacement. Won't buy another R51 until it proves it's self as reliable.

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the final release date for the R51s is still unverified. We are hoping to re-release them sometime during the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2016. Our apologies for the delay. If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for choosing Remington and have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you and best regards,

This is the exact reply I received a year ago from these idiots. Once I get my R51 one out of them I'll never buy another Remington product again.
