remington r5 pistol

Remington being Remington, however, they had to make it cheap, cheap, cheapest. Do you know when they made the change?This is the best rifle review I’ve ever seen. If you like large bolt knobs you no longer need to have a gunsmith cut off and attach a new larger bolt knob for you.

Not too long ago, I was able to test Remington’s newest version of the RGP, the R5.Compared to direct-impingement rifles like the standard M4, piston-driven rifles are typically easier to clean and maintain in the field since they don’t get as dirty inside, nor do they run as hot, thus requiring less lubrication and maintenance.

We see this often with 6.5 CM rifles and it appears to be the shape of the cartridge that causes this.

As we are now a FFL this is a rifle that I am going to be getting….DEMO,,,, probably keep it …..Thanks for all you do. The other thing that always draws comment on these tactical HS Precision stocks is the palm swell. The baseline score for energy is 1635 ft-lbs, which is the energy of the 308 Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr load at 300 yards in standard atmospheric conditions. Yet the 24″ barrel helps get some extra velocity versus a shorter 20″ or 22″ barrel which will help the 6.5 Creedmoor be even more effective at longer ranges. Since our web site catastrophe that happened a month ago, we are having to rebuild all of our reviews and pages from archives and we decided to take this time to modify this head shot test slightly. What they didn’t count on was the popularity that these rifles would have. My results are similar to yours: 130gr Federal Berger does the best, w/ an average 0.9MOA for 5 shots, and 140gr Hornady ELD was just about 1.0MOA. An Enfield No.4 wich I still enjoy shooting once in a while and a NAZI marked K98 which I gave to my son in law.

Since it is …

But you’re correct, there are three. We also adjusted the weight of the bolt for increased velocity in the middle of the operating range so it will run either dirty or lubed up.”Johnson continued, “Flush-cup sling attachment points were made stronger on the R5, so a sling swivel will fail before the flush cup will pull out. Rating: Rating 0. I ran through five 30-round magazines but was limited to off-hand shooting at 25 yards. America deserves this handgun.

Time serts were also made stronger than the rail mount screws.

And we’ve done a lot more to the R5 than just taking an M4 and putting a piston system on it. Of course, not only is the 5R rifling the hot thing to have, but so is the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge and so our review rifle combines the two. Perhaps it is just not cost effective for Remington to do it any longer.All of the metal work is finished with a satin black Cerakote finish applied by Remington. The Splatter may not look great…but it works wellThanks again for all you do Mel.

It was basically a familiarization and function testing opportunity.

The entire platform is about as much as the HS mag weld conversion, ironically. Add Review . Like the original, the new R51 is a single-action only (SAO), hammer fired, semi-automatic pistol … The rifle is very capable for field work as it is. The midweight class was represented by the Federal Gold Medal Berger 130gr and then the Hornady 140gr ELD Match load covered the heavier bullet weight class.

So lets take a look at what this rifle is. The reason they cannot use the AICS/PMAG magazines is because those mags are too wide and require more space than the remington BDL floorplate has room for. Additionally, all of the metal work is now black, where as the first generation was left in its natural stainless steel silver color.The buttstock has a thick Remington branded recoil pad and the buttstock itself is a traditional straight comb design without any adjustable components.

Despite early setbacks, we never wavered in our commitment to bring the R51 to market. After letting the carbine cool, we moved to the 100-yard range to ascertain the weapon’s accuracy potential.

The easiest is to use a drop in replacement for the floorplate, such as the one from HS Precision. Remington figured it was a good way to sell off those extra barrels unused barrels.

this gun says it has 6 flutes. This gas piston operating system disassembles in seconds without tools—just pop the pin out. Forward for fire, back for safe.About this time in the evaluation, you are likely drawing the conclusion that the Second Gen 5R rifle seems to be geared more toward the tactical community than the original 5R may have been with its black and green stock and silver metal work. The knob has some light knurling on it to help provide a bit more grip and it is a nice addition to the rifle from the factory. But its easy and does not require modifying the stock.
