There is a very small spring on the left hand of the slide that causes this problem. On reassembly it must be properly engaged to prevent  locking open. Several youtube vids on the subject..
Its the first thing I check after disassembly. .

Hello from BG and welcome.

The stuck mag problem is caused by the mag follower legs being too long. Carefully disassemble the mag and grind about a 1/16 of the bottom of both mag follower legs. Problem solved.

First off, congratulations on your new pistol. Regarding the prep for ude a disassembly and cleaning is a good idea. Rust inhibitor could be present and should be removed. I suggest that you consult a youtube video to help with the process.
The magazines have been the source of a lot of issues but there are several threads on this site that addresses that. Best of luck !

I own a Gen 2 that is marked Charlotte.

How many of us own more than 1 R-51 ? Just curious but it seems to me that multiple guns show a confidence in the model. Something to convince people to ignore the stupid you tube reviews and purchase one. I have 2 a black and a gray. Both operate flawlessly.

Welcome and congratulations on your new piece. Both of mine are reliable, the Charlotte model needed a mag tweak and the Huntsville ran great out of the box. Most of my range time has been standard ball but I have used some hollow points as well and had no problems. Never tried any steel cased rounds. Pretty sure you will have similar results.

My Charlotte model needed only the shortening of the followers in the mags to run well. The Huntsville piece got a good cleaning out of the box and ran great. I have not noticed any differences between the two.

The thing that will prevent any new production is the lack of profit potential. Having established a price point of approximately $200.00 any resumption of production would be at, if not a loss, awfully close to it. I bought my first 51 two years ago for 299 but was  given a 100 rebate coupon. That much time has fixed the buying public's perception of its value. There is no business case for Remington to resume production.

Hello and welcome. I have two of the pistols, one from Charoltte and the other from Huntsville. First gun had the issues with the mag dropping out, inability to eject a full mag, and the first round failure to feed. When I ground down the follower legs with a dremel all of the problems went away. The second gun only required a good cleaning and it ran 6 mags of ball as fast as I could shoot it.
You have an excellent pistol so don't let the hot stove experts tell you otherwise. You won't be disappointed with the gun.

 I own two, one of Charlotte vintage, the second from Huntsville. The Charlotte gun needed tweaking, the other worked as delivered. My opinion they are excellent weapons.
