They're rebooting production, re-starting it in October.
They could have handled it worse. Actually, I think a lot of people expected them to handle it worse.Those who have an R51 can send it back to Remington and will be supplied with a new R51, two magazines and a Pelican case for their trouble.
I don't know if it's that bad, I mean there had to be only like 5 R51s sold.Originally Posted by greyghost
Yeah, 'cause remember how Caracal said "We're standing behind these guns and will replace them with new ones and a couple spare mags and a Pelican case"?
Oh, wait, Caracal didn't say anything like that. They said "Whoops! You're hosed, bro! Inshallah, you'll pick a better gun next time!"
"The new R51 will be of the same exceptional quality as our test pistols, which performed flawlessly. "-Remington press release.
Something tells me this wont be the last R51 recall.

Between the X-Mark trigger and the R51 recalls, I think Remington is trying to catch up to GM's recall numbers.
After a good friend spent $1200 on a Remington rifle that shot like crap last year, I bought a Mossberg MVP at the beginning of summer that cost a third of the Remmy, and shoots 3 times better. This is after purchasing four Remingtons prior.

No hat? At least with the Ruger SR9 recall, I got a hat (and a magazine).
Where's the union guys yelling buy American?
Too busy blaming the CEO for their kitten-ups...
I'm surprised they're not up in here pointing out that North Cackalacky is a right-to=work state.
