I bought a Buckmark about 2 weeks ago. Thought it would make a better suppressor host than my Whose idea was it to make a gun that can't be field stripped without allen wrenches? Then once I got the allen screws out, I tried to remove the recoil spring guide rod the way they say in the manual, and it bent.  I had to beat out the little plastic piece in the slide that holds the recoil rod with a punch and a hammer. Of course, this chewed up the plastic pretty good. The manual makes it sound like it should pull right out. I guess mine was oversized.I take back every bad thing I've ever said about Ruger .22 pistols. They are a dream to field strip compared to the Buckmark. Now off to find a Mark II 22/45... |

They can be a little tricky to get apart, but it sounds like you had some major problems. I really disliked the top strap, I had replaced mine with a weaver base and a red dot. The dang thing kept coming loose, I even put the blue locktite to it. Sold it and ain't looked back. Thought it to be a bad design. |
The Ruger MK II sucks trying to get it back together. One of mine will go together with a bit of work, the other, the pin (can't remember what you call it) is an extremely tight fit that is near impossible. I don't bother taking them apart anymore. I take the plastic grips off and spray the heck out of them with gunscrubber or the like. |
