Yes, I had issues with ejection when using CCI Standard Velocity ammo. All was well with CCI MiniMags. I too would have a box of parts if I completely took the gun apart. I did call Browing over a week ago. I got the recorder saying leave name and number and they would return my call. Good thing I d...

I have heard of this if the sight base does not have the washers on the screws. Just a thought. When I first got the gun, the washers were missing. I "borrowed" two from another Buck Mark, and they are now in place. If the recoil rod were bent, why would the gun work great for 200 rounds with CCI M...

Took my Buck Mark Micro to the range again Saturday. Ran 200 rounds of CCI MiniMags thru it with NO issues. After finishing up shooting for the day, I put a fired cartridge in the chamber and pulled the trigger. Since the hammer is now full forward, same issue. Slide would not budge. Called Range Of...

Nothing binding. This gun was made in 1995, and appears to have been shot little, if any. Took top off, removed slide. No cartridge in chamber. I just bought this gun off the internet, and whomever cleaned the gun, the seller, or my FFL, the gun was dryfired. No damage, other than the slide is so st...

Browning Buck Mark slide won't open

This just is not my week. After having problems with my MK II slide locking up (you guys here helped me with some answers) now my Browning Buck Mark Micro Plus will not work. The slide on it is completely locked up. Won't move at all. How do I get the slide to unlock so I can examine the chamber, et...

Took gun to range today and ran ~250 rounds of CCI MiniMags, CCI SV, and Blazer ammo. Absolutely ran like a well tuned sewing machine. Hope it was a one time happening.

If it reoccurs, I will take apart by removing the mainspring.

Gun went click, cartridge did not go off. Attempted to clear the cartridge by pulling back on bolt. Bolt would not budge, not even 1/8 of an inch. Upon disassembly found the cartridge was hit by the firing pin, just did not fire. Gun disassembled by removing the hammer and sear pins. I did not try t...

If the hammer followed it would likely be to timing, as the sear did not catch the hammer hooks allowing the hammer to close with the bolt. R, Bullseye So could an out of spec VQ sear cause this issue? I have read VQ has some out of spec sears floating around. Just wondering if this issue is a one ...

If the bolt only came back about 1/2" then I'd say the strut slipped off of the mainspring cap. Other than that could be the hammer is following the bolt when it closes. R, Bullseye Bolt would not move any at all. Frozen solid. Why would hammer follow bolt when it closed? Would using a MK III bolt ...

Mark II locked up

I was at the range yesterday shooting my Ruger MKII. I had had it apart earlier in the week for a deep cleaning, so I thought I would be GTG for a range session. Was doing fine till about round 160. Hammer went click, but gun did not go bang. Went to pull the bolt back, but it would not budge. Trigg...

Gun shows? Someone at your range/club? Maybe post them on a forum you use? Armslist? (no affiliation, but I like to see what's available used in my area with armslist) Gun shows? Quit going, too much gouging. No club, my range is Forest Service, very casual. Don't think I've seen the same person tw...

Yes. Just do a side-by-side comparison with the old one and you'll see they're the same. Use the same plunger spring from your bolt and you are all set. R, Bullseye Thanks for the info. Now if I can just separate the extractor from the plunger. :? I have seen the how to pics here and on RFC, just h...

So if a person had an extra extractor for a 10-22 made by Kidd it would also work? Just use the Mark II/III spring?
