Hey all. I have a some questions about a buckmark I am looking at. I can purchase it used for 279 + tax with one mag. It seams to be clean and in good shape. Second, it is a slab side, I want to put on a tac/sol round barrel can this be done since it came with the slab side? What are your thoughts on a AAC or SWR spectre can. I want a quality set up that will last and can be taken apart and cleaned. Thanks. Troy
Re: buckmark advice
Troy, Your GTG. The Tac Sol Trail-Lite barrel replaces the entire barrel assembly. Mine was a slab slide as well, replaced with a 7.25" Tac-Sol.
IMHO:
- Flip the trigger spring, "lightens trigger"
- Factory Browning Trigger with trigger stop
- Tactical Solutions 4" Threaded Barrel - CA sucks, no-suppressors.
IMO: I "prefer non-fluted" its light enough as is.
- Tactical Solutions Integral Rail w/ Rear Adj. Sight.
Have a great one,
FTK

Re: buckmark advice
+1 on flipping the sear spring over. The "Heggis Flip" (a guy in Norway is generally credited with the idea) may be the coolest home-gunsmithing trick there is. Combined with some very light polishing, this got the trigger pull on mine down to about 2.5 lbs.

Re: buckmark advice
Sorry if this is a hijack, but anyone have to replace more than one buffer on a BuckMark?
I bought a used one, made in 1994, and shot it today. Very accurate and no obvious problems. I detail stripped it at home and found a lot of sludgy crap and the buffer was gooey and fell apart. I ordered a new one and, after following the links through rimfire central, find I should have oredered a few other parts to make use of the $8.00 shipping charge.
Looks like nothing to worry about when I get the new buffer but lots of future problems start out that way!

Re: buck mark advice
You will be very pleased with the TS barrel and the integrated sight rail combo. They make for a sweet shooter. My oldest Buck Mark is an 1985 and the black buffer was floating around in pieces. I replaced it along with a new spring, and all is well. When you do the heggis flip make sure that the bottom of the spring is in the V. Regards

Re: buck mark advice
Wow!
You know there just seems to be no end to the things, interests and specialties one can find forums on! I have had a Ruger 22/45 for years and enjoy shooting it. I happenend to find my Buckmark, used, for sale at my favorite gun store and thought, "No Brainer!" I had no idea there so many people who love this pistol so dearly. And what a joy to disasemble/reassemble compared to the 22/45!
For $140.00 it was definitely a great buy. A few blemishes on the sight rail and barrel, but otherwise in good condition (besides waiting for a new buffer!)
Now I need to punch out some holsters.
Kaz,
That pistol looks great. What can is that?

Re: buck mark advice
Thanks, it is a Yankee Hill MITE. This is it on a TS 4" on my 1985 BM that had the buffer shot out. New buffer/recoil spring and many bricks later it shoots as good as my newer one. Regards
