Hello R-51 Pistol forum members
As you no doubt notice this forum looks different. I had to perform a major update due to some problems that were preventing the forum from loading.

so far my Huntsville hasn't had a wandering pin, but round count only >500. as an aside, if i do have the issue, i'm tempted to put it back in with red loctite and see if that keeps it in place. and if i never have the problem, so much the better. until more R51s get over the 1000 rd. number this issue will be hard to judge as a design oversight or an anomaly.
good luck with the repair from Remington.

On my last 2 range visits (including today), my mag release pin exits out the right side. I've been using a brass hammer and punch to return it to its proper place. I'm wondering if peening the left end of the pin will cause it to hold better....

I thought I responded to this yesterday but...
Anyway, if they are the sights that Remington sells on their sight it may be that the point of aim will be the same as factory.
I bought the Remington fiber optic sights and the point of aim is still 4" low at 7 yards, which is what I saw with stock sights.
The good news is I was able to tighten my groups with the new sights.
Hrm, that's not good. Much easier to lower POI than to raise it. If you don't mind losing the R51 aesthetics on the rear sight, you could install a higher rear sight from another pistol (maybe a CZ) or find a really low front sight (big dot maybe, or again a CZ).
Is low POI a common issue? Higher rear sight could be another good aftermarket product.

Rec'd my Charlotte back today. The service people and the turn around were very good. I had included in the shipment my single "very bad" mag (one of 6) and they replaced it with a new one. The new mag cycled the first round perfectly. The mag release pin stayed put. So far so good. To the range tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
