Browning Buckmark Challenge
Picked up one of these today as a Christmas present for my wife to be. This way I figure I will get to use my Kimber Rimfire Target more often when we go to the range. Got it for $225 at Galyans(they are closing their stores this Sunday) which I thought wasn't bad.
Field stripping and cleaning. To remove recoil spring,firing pin block and slide requires removal of the sights. To clean barrel from breech would require removal of barrel by allen wrench. With my other 22's,the above mentioned Kimber and two Ruger single six's,all I do with the barrel is run a brush through them once in awhile.
A more thorough cleaning is done on the rest of these to insure functioning.
So now my question,what does everyone else do with theirs as far as cleaning?

I usually didn't clean the barrel of my Buckmark all that often. .22 ammo(most of it anyway) is self lubricating(coated) and really doesn't pose that much of a fouling problem in the barrel. I would use a Q tip and solvent and clean inside the action and especially around the breech end of the barrel and extractor recess and then very lightly oil with Break Free. I usually did not break it down further except at the end of the season. I shot mine in competition and never had a jam that I can remember with it. I let a young man have it and the last time I heard from him, he was still shooting it in competition. 0 -
What pinhead said, with both of mine. Don't listen to us, you are more thorough, and that ain't bad. 0
