Finley I recived the pin to hold the firing pin in, and if u have to take the pin out for some reason replace the spring, right behind the extractor and extractor button is the spring {in plain sight} so I can understand why some problems happen with the spring  and pin happen , ,,,johnnys r51   


                       HOPE ALL THE R51'S ARE WORKING OUT,,,,cant waite to get back to Florida to get my range time caught up ,,,, hello to everybody

 I order a breech block said it was complete ,came bare , so I called and order a extractor , extractor button ,
extractor pin;;NOTE,, the pin is taper so it will only go in one way and comes out the top,(u can push the pin in the block and threw the extractor the last 1/16in u need a punch}  Now I also order a
 firing pin ,firing pin spring , and 3 different firing pin pins,(as they did not have it on the picture in the manual and I guess that if it is not in the pic its lost) none will work ,{all came from Big Green} so if any body has to take out the firing pin pin, if you can measure it Please do and post the size , if it is tapper I will use a split roll pin , (the pin next to the firing pin is not the right pin)

  Well I went to the range today and I now have 1019 rounds threw my #1,, R51,and I am very HAPPY with the pistol ,it should be broke now , and racks smooth, but I cannot rack it with 2 finqer's ,,,, and on Friday (3/16) I ordered a ""NEW R51 Gray smoke"" , hopefully it will be here Monday the 26th (ETA) , I hope, I get to put some rounds threw her but I may have to wait till November , as April 2nd I leave to go north, I may try to stall the departure but my WIFE may put the brakes on me, will keep you all posted also iam ordering 3 new magazines as they have good price I see blackie posted,, and I purchased action spring, action spring bushing, breech block, elastomer extractor button , extractor , extractor pin, firing pin , firing pin return spring ,(they are not sure what the pin is that holds the firing pin in) so they are sending 3 different pins that may work), slide stop return spring , and slide stop pin just to have ,,,

+++can anybody tell or knows what the pin is called that holds the firing pin in the Breech block?
       Thank You   Johnny'sR51
