- Visiting with the Remington Model 51 for a disassembly and reassembly video of this unique 1925 vintage Remington oddball. Nothing else functions, comes apart, or goes together like this one.....hope this video helps those who are stuck scratching their heads.
The basic patent for the Model 51 was number 1,348,733 dated Aug 3, 1920, and was issued to John D. Pedersen, who designed several models of Remington guns. The original application for the patent was filed July 30, 1914, and was renewed July 17, 1919. For those who love reading the patents as much as I do, this one is one of the best.
Stay tuned!
Your willingness to take the time to share the information you’ve learned with us is very much appreciated. You motivated me to become familiar with my 51, the biggest obstacle was removing the grip panels. A century of filth had locked them in place and no amount of force with my thumbs was going to move them. A bit of Ballistol between the panels and the frame for lubrication and a small block of wood that I use to push against the top of the panel with the heal of my hand did the trick. Thanks for all you do!
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for tuning in.
I have to say I watch a lot of CZcams videos you are the best one on fire arms.keep it up.I have learned a lot from you. Thank you.
I appreciate that! Thanks for tuning in. Contemplating a series of these as disassembly/reassembly videos seem to be in demand.
@MilsurpGarage I started collecting old shotguns about 1 1/2 years ago I am up to about 13 now and thanks to you cleaning and maintaining is much easier. This was my retirement plan.
@@kimklinow9122 Old shotguns are my favorite. Do you shoot trap with them? Great way to actually use those classics.
@MilsurpGarage yep I think my two favorites are 1925 remington model 10 and my1909 remington model 11.

Love The Original Model 51 This One 😊❤️😀😊❤️😀
Very unique pistol.
nice looking 51! Stay safe, stay armed ,stay free.
Thanks! Something about this gun. It’s like the ultimate pocket carry….points like no other. Thanks for tuning in!
I got the 32ACP version.
I ordered a used breach block JUST incase I did break the original.
Only shoot it once in a while with just range ammo.
To old for carry so it has a nice case for a home.
.32 ACP breech blocks are available here and there as they seemed to handle the stress but the .380 ones were the ones with a much higher failure rate and are all but impossible to find.
Also, check out this interesting unblinking eye webpage on model 51 prototypes. Imagine you needed one of those breech blocks!

Next Video Frame and Trigger And Fire Control & Grip Safety Disassembly and Reassembly 😀😊😀
Ha! Not my area. I very rarely disassemble a trigger group. In my experience they are almost always better left assembled unless a part needs repair or replacement so I’ll only demonstrate such an instance
@@MilsurpGarage Understandable 👍🏼
The safety can be used to lock the slide back as well.
Releasing the grip safety will allow the slide to be held back as I demonstrated. Other than that, how else are you using the safety to hold the slide open?
@@MilsurpGarage The side safety will lock the slide back as well. Pull the slide back and turn the safety lever.
@@motorosso3349 Not mine. If the slide is held back with the grip safety depressed the safety will not turn. In order to lock it back the grip safety must be left extended when the slide is back and it will lock open.
Maybe there are different versions but my slide is locked open and released by using the grip safety. The thumb safety only moves with the slide forward and striker charged.
@@MilsurpGarage Mine is the earlier version with the large slide serrations so that may be the difference. For the side safety to lock the slide back, I don't depress the grip safety.
Exactly. Pull the slide all the way back without depressing the grip safety. Doesn’t it lock open?
They are a little pain in the ass to take down and clean. A lot of the time I just spray it full of solvent and then some oil after it dries out. Not that I ever fired mine very much.
I don`t think I ever did look up what year mine was made.
Yours was an older one if I remember correctly. Want me to look it up for you?
