Title: r-51 poor chambering!
Post by: luteai on February 14, 2018, 05:50:48 PM: 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.

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.

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. :twocents:

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. :(
