Recommended Posts

in the process of buying a Reising. Buying from a large reputable dealer and paying the premium to make sure im covered on quality/function. no grand bargain this time, but a fair price.

 

what spare parts are recommended? i see keystone has almost everything

 

spring kit, mags, sear, extractor, firing pin (titanium) ?

 

anything else?

 

any source for new barrels?

When I first got my M50 it was extreme;y finicky about ammo and basically would not run reliably even on the stuff it liked. I put in a Wolfe spring kit and it now eats anything. Plus the detail strip required to install the kit will familiarize you with the inner workings. The only spare I've ever needed is the leaf spring under the selector switch, mine snapped at the crease in the middle. I bought a spare firing pin just because of the Reising's reputation for breaking them.

The firing pin is definitely the weak point. Because of the 'tapered' design of the original firing pin you should never dry fire your Reising. If you are using an original firing pin I recommend that you use snap cap/ dummy rounds when you dry fire. I learned that the hard way. Todd in Oregon

do i need a spare bolt? action bar? selector? trigger assembly? i see keystone has most of them...reproductions i assume...theres a spare bolt on GB for cheap...

 

i dont need a full parts kit, but would like to cover my bases on basics...sear, ejector, extractor, springs...i always get those for every gun

I bought some Reising spares from Numrich/GPC this year and they were all in good shape. Don't forget that they bought a bunch of parts from H&R and even assembled some Model 50's in the 1980's. That's what I have and the parts are all nice. They do sell some repo parts.

even on line their parts look all rusted....ive been burned so many times from them....i will most likely just look on GB or ebay...both have parts show up and priced about the same....this way i can see what im actually getting....ill grab some of the smalls stuff like ejectors/extractors/sear/ firing pin from keystone when i buy my mags

 

ill look for an action bar and bolt on auctions

  • 3 weeks later...

grabbed a ton of parts from Numrich....normally i have 0 good to say about them...typical is all rust and tossed into 1 baggie...i was pleasantly surprised 75% were rust free(many appear to be NOS) and each had its own baggie....i spent some time with oil and steel wool and cleaned off 90% of the rust....oiled up heavily and put away....very pleased with their product

 

a few parts to come from keystone and 1 from GB....all very reasonable....ill have a full parts kit for approx $700 range when done...most NOS parts.....then i have the 3 barrels ontop of that coming from Folke in Feb.
