What can be so difficult with the R51?
Holding the slide partway back to align the slide release lever with the cutout for removing it.

I tend to do it light cleaning and oil after most range sessions. The weird feeling I get is I just disassembled and reassembled this gun after proving it functions normally… Should i function test it again before I put it back in to use?
Lol. My theory on cleaning, right there!These still shot, so I’m good.

Mine seems to be able to take anything and still shoot.
It'll go 5000 easy. Just add a drop of transmission fluid every now n then.I feel like I should be proud of myself.
I shot 150 rounds today and I am not smelling like #9 right now!
Gonna shoot another couple hundred tomorrow though.

#9 will drive women away! That stuff smells bad! The only "wild" they might be is wild to get away from the funk....lolOne day at a time.
And about that #9. Just put a dab on the nape of your neck. It drives women wild.

Blasphemy I say..................... You get hold of a big ole honkin country girl that shoots and you'll need a gallon of #9.#9 will drive women away! That stuff smells bad! The only "wild" they might be is wild to get away from the funk....lol

I used to be a "if you shoot it, you clean it" kinda guy. Every range day was followed by an hour or two cleaning guns at home. At the time I found it somewhat relaxing. Gave me something to do, and I really enjoyed it.
Eventually, I wore out the crown on a 22 mag rifle from excessive cleaning. Part of the reason was I was using one of those cheap aluminum sectioned rods to do it, but I was making just as many passes with a brush down the bore as I was with a bullet.
I started cleaning less often after that, and as my collection grew, I found myself in a situation where cleaning all the guns that have been shot would take longer than I spent at the range, so now I clean on an as needed basis. Revolvers get wiped down after a range session. Rifles go back in the safe as is. I'll strip and clean when they look dirty enough inside. Seems to vary by gun and ammo type.
put that in the dishwasher and spray it off with CLP and you'll still be good to go without the mud
Same. I clean when I think about it. I do have to oil certain finishes more than others (the boy's H&R singles will rust every time if I don't wipe em after they hunt. Same with most newer Remington shotguns and rifles with the 'matte' finish).
Boresnakes are a lazy mans friend, ESP with a muzzleloader. I shot my smokepole 2 or 3 dozen times last weekend and the bore snake just saved me time and effort.
@Tim I eyeballed that bottle of Goex before I left for the BP range sesh...........and then I grabbed my bottle of 777 with the funnel cap attached! I wanna burn black so bad, but I kinda cringe. I know hot water will clean it right up, and it's easy on an inline. And then there's that damn Triple 7 'ring of crud'. Even with the boresnake I have to take the breechplug out and scrub with a brush and hot waterMuzzleloaders are the only thing I'm OCD about cleaning. But, I shoot the Holy Black; it's highly corrosive.
