R51 General Discussion / Re: Got some new mags
September 07, 2018, 08:47:33 PM
That is the trick!  Load 6 in the mag and one in the pipe for flawless operation.  If you can't stop the bad guy with 7 rounds, better throw the gun at him!

I always load 6 in my mag and 1 in the pipe!  Why get rid of a great pistol over 1 damn round!  Mine has never jammed doing 6+1!

I asked for two new replacement mags.  I got them via UPS about two months later.  I am a happy R51 owner and will continue to support Remington and not complain.  Remington is a very important American company with a LOT of history behind them.  Remington's efforts during our wars have saved many lives!  Don't ever forget that!!!!!!!!!

Ignorance is bliss!  That means the price will remain VERY inexpensive, so that you can afford two of them.  I have found a local place here that sells them for $299 with a $100 Remington rebate.  So for $199 you get and R51.  What's to complain about?????????

Go to Hour 2:  and listen from 07:19 to 09:32 to hear this very happy R51 owner.
This was a "Gun Talk" radio program recorded on Sunday 11/19/2017.  I agree with him completely!!!!!!!!!

With the R51 you can focus on the target and NOT get distracted trying to focus on the sights.  The R51 molds to your eye focus on the target, not the sights.  The R51 is the "ultimate" defensive pistol.  Every time I shoot this gun, I am truly amazed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody has them so the best alternative are "Traction Grips"=http://www.tractiongrips.com/catalog/i227.html

After noticing a drop in accuracy and actually seeing copper in the lands of the barrel I decided to de-copper my R51 barrel.  Cleaned barrel as normal with M-Pro 7 cleaner.  Then ran a wet patch of 91% rubbing alcohol thru barrel.  Then a wet patch of Sweets 7.62, let sit for only 5 minutes (it is ammonia based) and ran a dry patch thru as directions stated.  Dry patch came out blue (copper).  Did same process a couple more times, until dry patch came out clean. Then I re-cleaned the bore with M-Pro7 gun cleaner. Do not let Sweets sit in barrel for more than 15 minutes or it will eat your barrel.  I used this on all of my match rifles (I am a Master rating in NRA High-Power shooting).  Sweets is the only product that "really" gets the copper out.  Then a patch with a light coating of M-Pro 7 gun oil I push thru bore.  A clean barrel and gun with good lubrication is a happy gun that will perform reliably when required!!  Please clean your magazines after each shooting session as well.  A firearm is only as reliable as the magazine that is attached to it

So Remington sent this guy 2 upgraded magazines.  There is the old style with the thin base, and the new style with the thicker base that I assume was sent to the writer of this article.  I have the new style mags, and have never had an issue with feeding correctly. ;D ;D ;D

R51 General Discussion / Best Lubricant for R51
September 07, 2017, 12:14:13 AM
I use M-Pro 7 gun oil=http://www.mpro7.com/m-pro7-gun-oil-lpx.html  Makes my R51 action smooth as possible.  Incredible product and their gun cleaner as well.  I know a lot of guys in the military that will use nothing else on their personal or crew served weapons.

R51 General Discussion / REMINGTON $50.00 REBATE..
August 24, 2017, 06:59:29 PM
....got my $50.00 rebate check from Remington.  So that brought my R51 price down to $249.00.  Bought it from Bud's Guns online for $299.00 (they are Kentuckians).  What a deal for such an excellent Gen 2 R-51 pistol.  I also discovered that M-Pro 7 gun oil and gun cleaner is an excellent non-toxic combo to keep my R-51 running and gunning flawlessly.  I could not be happier.  I just purchased a kydex IWB holster+ a kydex OWB holster in carbon fiber trim.  I will see which is one I like best.  Also purchased a Fobus 2 mag paddle holder from Midway for $19.95.  So I am looking forward to trying them out.  Right now I carry in a fanny pack, which is comfortable for biking.  So lots of different ways to carry my R51.  I like the idea of carrying with only 6 rounds in the mags and one in the chamber.  So 19 rounds total concealed carry should be enough for just about any situation that may come occur (we live in the age of radical Islamic terrorism) and there are always street criminals and crazy meth addicts!!  I do not wish to "test" the Lord so I will utilize my R51 for self defense.  Armed Citizen over and out.....
