All Things Reo

I just have ordered a low profile version. Will perfectly work with new docdave atty ! Reos are back !
 
@Cliff Great, please keep me informed if you have made any progress or such. What rounds are you using?

I'm trying to gather a variety in order to provide some options, some sizes which would make perfect button covers are proving difficult to come by though.

Trust me you'll all know when they're ready ;)
 
@Cliff Where are you sourcing these? When I go to the range again I'll have a look what I see around there. Might find some interesting casings

Anywhere and everywhere... I've had a colleague give me some odd sizes and I'm chasing him for some more. Other than that I've been to a few ranges and some sadly don't allow me combing through the brass lying around o_O. Don't need more 9mm or .40S&W, got plenty and using them to work out the kinks.

As you can see on Rob's left and right Reos the .45 is ideally sized for covers, scarce here though
 
Morning all, giving Thor a bit of tlc this morning. Cleaning, rewicking...

My question is: I've notice my fire button not sitting so high like it use to. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1424325373.054721.jpg

Is it time for the Repair Kit?

Looks like it is time for a new firing pin. Based on the picture, yours seems to have bent downward instead of being straight. I'm guessing this is why the button doesn't sit as high as it once did.

Hope this helps :)

The positive contact looks bent in the picture and probably the reason for the button sitting lower than normal.
I would change it.

Thank you guys, I've just relised its broken. So its ordering time.
 
I'm pretty sure you can heat up the copper firing pin, and then bend it back again. Well that's what I would try.

How are the battery terminals looking? Is there any black oxidation on the battery terminal? (little black pitted marks)

The reason I ask is because, that will have a huge negative impact on the voltage, and probably result in you applying excessive pressure on the firing button.

Nope, my batteries are clean, I clean them regularly, because I don’t want a voltage drop. But thank you. :blush:
 
The Ultrasonic Cleaner is nice for hard to reach areas etc... but for a Tumbled REO there isn't anything quite like a sponge and sunlight soap!

That looks awesome, I just love the clean look of Aluminum.

Yip after not thinking I would like the tumbled and despite the pain of keeping it clean compared to the others like Lily I really like it! :inlove:
 
Thought I'd tidy up my REO spares,they seldom go wrong so why? I had to ask myself after checking stock,and I've got some gaskets,510 pins and leafs coming,I must be over cautious:rolleyes:

Well Thor had his repairs done...

Wow, I think I need to rename him Storm!! Amazing what difference that little copper plate can make.

Great going. That is actually a gold plated plate...do not file it...just clean it with a bit of alcohol or an eraser.
