Bad Buckmark??

mrdropcloth
I purchased my best friends' .22 Browning Buckmark, 3.5 inch. barrel. He died, so I paid more than the gun was worth to help pay burial cost..he had no insur. Any way I was surprized to find he had a large ammo can very full of Stingers. I just he found out that the little gun had a prefaces for the high dollars ammo over the cheap bricks of Walmart- K-Mart Federals...etc. It jambs every clip at least 1 maybe twice. I am dissapointed, as my Ruger eats any and all ammo. So many good reports are found on the site about this weapon, I'm just suprized. And ,yes the pistol was very clean. Any thoughts?? Thanks , Steve

    Try different ammo first, ( I recommend CCI Blazers ). If your still having problems, try changing magazines. See if that makes a difference.

    I second what Mike says. Try several brands of ammo. If still has a problem then it could be a bad magazine. Those are good pistols usually.

    Question, Do you know that the magazine is a factory Browning mag. I have two brownings with over 10,000 rounds through them with out any problems with all types of ammo. But I bought a after market magazine and had nothing but trouble.

    I've got a 5" Buckmark that's also sometimes hesitant; what works for me is checking to see if the screws that hold the rear sight on are tight, and give it a good cleaning...

    And, the best ammo I've found for mine is either Winchester Wildcat or CCI Velocitors (Velocitors have never failed).

    I have a Buckmark that would do the same thing. jam or misfeed once or twice every mag useing all kinds of ammo. I ended that problem by cleaning very good and instead of useing oil on the rear of the slide, I use shooters choice red grease in the syringe. just a tiny amount.

    I have a Browning Camper and had issues with Jamming also. My problem was the set screw had come loose. I took the pistol apart, cleaned it and then put it back together making sure the screws were snug and it was the end of my problems. Hope it helps.
