Yes plentiful in stores and online in Texas. Agree current prices reflect energy/commodity/labor inflation. I don't see prices going much lower unless and until the political situation improves... Joe

Welcome Chip... I would try working the slide holding the pistol upside down. You can also try bumping the slide back and forth while upside down using a table edge against the front and rears sights. Gravity may help something shift out of the way. Protect surfaces with a towel... Joe

Does anyone know if the original Remington 51 triggers will work in the R51?
I would guess not being as the model 51 trigger looks different and was designed in 1917.

Picture of the retaining pin.
The big end is about 1/3 total length.

I had mine apart to clean after about 2000 rounds because the firing pin channel was jammed with carbon.
I stopped oiling the firing pin channel after this as I'm guessing this caused the problem...

The retaining pin is stepped so it only goes in and comes out of the left side of the block.
If you look close you'll see the left side of the pin is bigger and the left side hole has a small counter sink.
It was tight. I bent a brass punch trying.
So you'll need a 1/16 steel punch. Drive it out from right to left.
Once the big end of the retaining pin is clear of the block, it will drop out.

Re assembly is easy. Just push the firing pin/spring in and drop the retaining pin in place.
It will hold the firing pin and spring in place while you drive the retaining pin in until flush.

Good Luck - Joe
