I put about 150 rounds through the Buck,ark today, and about half the mags that I put through it, I had at least one misfire, sometimes more. The gun is a little dirty. I did the flipping the sear spring trick on it to lighten the trigger and I can't help but wonder if this could be causing the problem. Also, I bent the recoil spring the last time I disassembled the gun. I don't believe that would have effect on the foring pin pressure, but I've been wrong before. I plan to replace eventually, is there any other springs I should consider replacing? I've had the gun for about 1.5 years and I've probably put between 3,000 or 4,000 rounds through it. |

I'd make sure the chamber is REALLY clean first. I emphasize, because it is very likely that there is a build-up of residue and hardened lube keeping your rounds from fully chambering, thus keeping the bolt from making it completely home. It's very important that this area is clean to ensure proper function. (light primer strikes are a common symptom of build up in the chambers of many .22LR pistols ..... look right where the rifling starts foremost... it's the trouble spot) After that, look for any other obstructions that would keep the bolt from closing completely. I doubt it's a spring issue, but haven't done the Harris Trigger Mod myself. Hope this helps. |

I'll make sure I check that first, I just got it threaded for the supressor, so the last few hundred rounds have been with that (which blows a lot more crap back in the action). I'll make sure to clean it up well and keep the lube to a minimum and shoot it again before I go swapping parts out. Thanks

Ooops, I meant Heggis instead of Harris.  www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=174356&highlight=heggis |
Thanks! |
That could sure do it, but unless you've removed the barrel before, I doubt it's loose. (Browning is doing something different with the barrel screws in recent years, making them pretty tough to loosen) |

I just bought a Browning Buckmark (my first BM) about 2 weeks ago. After attempting to follow the instructions in the owners manual concerning disassembly, I realized I could not remove the barrel screw to remove the barrel (it was too tight). I called the Browning service department and they told me that they put loctite on the threads to prevent owners from removing the barrel. They said that they intend to have that step removed from the owners manual. After inquiring as to why, they informed me that too many people were reattaching the barrels incorrectly. They said that the barrels had to be aligned perfectly, or else misfires and others problems would ensue. This may or may not be the case with your BM. Take it for what it's worth. |
