Hi, just picked up a used Buckmark and it is having frequent failures to eject. While trying to troubleshoot, I loaded up a magazine and manually cycled the slide back and forth briskly to see what would happen. I was expecting to see the cartridges shoot out forcefully to the right. Instead I saw them dribble out weakly and some even dribbled out the left side. Only a couple shot out with any noticeable force. Is what I did even a valid test of anything? I tried the same in my Sig P299 and Ruger 10/22 and every cartridge ejected forcefully and consistently. Can anyone else with a Buckmark let me know if what I'm seeing is abnormal? Thanks |

The extractor should indeed be square and sharp. However, I don't believe you can diagnose that problem by ejecting live rounds, manually. Ensure the chamber is clean, and try it at the range to be sure. If you discover ejection problems, I believe I have a spare new one out in my shop. Yours for a SASE if you need it. (Browning had some weak extractor issues a few years ago, which allowed the extractor to actually break under normal use.... which is why I have the extra. I only had one break in several Buckmarks) |
Here's what I found in the shop The plunger looks like it might be used.... the spring I can't tell.... the extractor looks brand new... Wish I could recall how and why..... but that was several Buckmarks ago. I'll guess I ordered extra in anticipation. Let me know. |
Thanks!
