My first R51 is off to Remington repair now. I will wait until it returns to see what they did to fix it before I do anything. I am not sure a larger pin would be wise at this point as it may void the warranty for modifying the frame. Further it needs to fit within the mag release spring and fixture and I am not sure if it would. Time will tell.Rocky
Could the problem be the aluminum frame? Big Green needs to get on the stick.Blackie
Could it be faulty pins?Has anyone been able to measure and compare pins that are falling out with pins that stay in?
OK....my Huntsville pistol came back today and we went straight to the range. She still shoots exactly where I point her...what a pistol. I had 1 FTF in about 100 rounds. The mag release pin was replaced however I cannot tell if they placed a larger pin there or did something else. They test fired a full mag and the pistol and deemed my Mag #1 well....but we know there are still problems. My Shield and SAR B6P did not hiccup once. Just my Huntsville. :- Now Charlotte goes back for the same fix. Regards to all.RRR

Well, maybe i am lucky...I made to 1000 rounds before my pin staring falling out. I thought the gunsmith did something when hi installed my new fiber optic sights but now i find the 2 threads started by Rocky and I see now there is a problem.I am getting frustrated with this gun. I want to love it but...On the other thread and maybe this one there was mention of Loc-Tite. There is a Loc-Tite for “cylindrical parts” that I have used and will probably try on this pin.Loc-Tite 608 is for cylindrical parts that will be disassembled at some point is probably the one to try.Loc-Tite 620 is the one for more permanent fixes and requires heat to break loose, like Loc-Tite Red.I was thinking of buying a second R51 but I am really not sure now.
