i ran 100 or so rounds through my R 51 and only had 1 issue, one of my gen 1 mags had the slide lock back on round # 6. not a nosedive, just locked back. all the brass ejected clean and followed the same path. so i will be taking apart the older mags and trim the follower legs. mainly because i can and i have 4 other mags that are serviceable. i need to get more ammo then i will order replacement mags. i will try the spring flip too. don't cost anything

I tried the spring flip myself and it only made my problems worse. Like you said, it doesn't cost anything. Try it and see.

i am now envious of y'all in the southern 1/4 of the states. the weather in the upstate of NY has, well............ sucked. have not been able to set up my targets to practice and make some noise. i have been tearing down and reassembling though. it seems to be getting easier. the clamp is the ticket. i want to modify one to be a little more specific in placement.if possible. it looks like my weather will break next weekend, maybe. until then i have to put my daughters rustang back together. she took the engine and rear out. so i figured i would but a bigger set in it. who couldn't use an extra 100 hp?

be safe
