Got something odd
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:00 pm
I have to confess to a love of oddball guns. This time it may have bit me on the ass. The Academy Sports up the road a little ways has had a Remington R51 in the case for a while now. Price finally got down to where I was willing to take a stab at it. It's of the second run, not the disastrous first batch. Haven't gotten to the range yet, but it seems to have no trouble hand-cycling 115grain ball or 124 grain S&B hollow points.
Pluses: light, compact, disappears in the pockets of my khakis, grip actually fits my meathooks.
Minuses: field stripping & reassembling the fucking thing makes me nostalgic for the simple and intuitive procedures for doing that with the Ruger Mk. III 22/45 I used to have. It may end up as a safe queen or trade fodder just for that.
