r-51 poor chambering!

[luteai]

Out of 500 or so rounds fired I've had none of the problems the R-51 is prone too. I have a concern with these mis-shaped cases though.  Anyone out there experienced deformities like this?  What's the cause for this?  Two of the last 100 cases have this bulge.

No clue but that looks scary.

the only time I ever saw cases look like that in a 9mm is when a shooter at the range mixed in a couple 380 acp cases. I also have a r-51 and I will admit it was mistake to waste my money on it.  nothing but problems. I just got the paper work to send it back to Remington for repair.. I bet they just keep it for a while and then send it back as if you get a good Remington it works and if you get unlucky it never seems to get repaired.

Not just poor chambering, it isn't chambering.  That's firing out of battery.

Bingo! I have had the exact thing happen. Caused by firing out of battery. The issue we had was having to slow down a 9mm AR. The full auto rate of fire was too fast, I actually had 9mm cases completely burst during ejection.

That's probably worth a good once over by somebody who knows what they're doing.

Thanks guys, I knew someone could diagnose the cause.  Out of battery = out of the shooting line up till I get it looked at.

Another reason why I'll steer clear of this platform. Neat looking little pistol; cool that Remington decided to rework and bring back one of their retro designs. Just read about too many issues with poor tolerances, feeding problems, recalls etc. Too bad.
