Just take it apart and clean it.
I detail strip mine very rarely. Mostly I just brush out the slide/chamber area and lube it up. Use blue lock-tite on the screws upon re-assembly. They'll shoot loose otherwise. |

The Buckmark can be a real pain to reassemble. I take mine all apart once a year and clean/lube it up real nice. Love the gun.

As long as you have it apart, do the quick trigger fix by hand polishing the fcg very lightly and flipping the sear spring.
ETA: I find Buckmarks easier to field strip than the Rugers. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that are pretty good. I used to have a link to a good one (tried to find it but its gone). If I find it, I'll post the link here. |

I never found mine hard to reassemble. I used to frequently take the rear sight base and slide off for cleaning. That was years ago when I used to shoot it a lot.

I have a buck-mark that has around 10,000 rounds through it.
I cleaned it whenever it started to jam due to excessive fouling. Which was every 1-2k rounds or so (of dirty old bulk crap). Haven't shot it for years.

I typically take off the rear sight base for cleaning when it starts to foul up too. Not really difficult to clean this way.

If you take the sights off, you slightly impact the alignment.
I generally don't take them apart anymore. I spray them with gun scrubber or throttle body cleaner, a little wd40, then clean with q-tips and a bore snake. I finish up with a few drops of lube. The gun is very open and easy to clean out. |

Im guessing gun scrubber won''t harm the finish than? do you take the grips off when using it? |

IIRC, the right side grip holds some things in place, so I'd leave the grips alone. As others mention, spray it, scrub the chamber & bore, swab the bore & then lube it. I've never taken my apart in owning it for almost ten years now. My .o2 |

When I bought mine, I first went through the dissembly to clean. Somewhere along the line I realized it wasn't really necessary. I have no idea how many rounds have gone through it. I added a TacSol rail and Burris Fastfire about 5 years ago. That was the last time it was taken apart. Follow the procedures above and it'll run just fine. |

I seldom take them apart. Just clean the breech area with a soft brush and oil where the slide contacts the frame.
Been doing that for years, just shot one of mine today and it was great. |

I have over 1K rds through my 2 year old buckmark and I have never stripped mine nor felt the need to do so. I clean mine by gently scrubbing and wiping off the breech face, slide, extractor, spring guide area,and running a boresnake through. I've only used eezox on it so everything wipes clean with little effort. This gun was sent back to Browning when I first bought it because it didn't feed well and there was a bad cosmetic flaw on the slide. Browning replaced the slide, fixed the feeding issue, and I have never had an single failure since. My kids love this gun. |
