Re: buckmark ftf

I would suggest removing the sight base, remove and clean the firing pin assembly and the rest of the action while your at it. Browning seems to pack them full of grease out of the factory. If you think it's the ammo, I mostly shoot Remington Yellow Jackets out of the pistol and CCI subsonic through the rifle with with good results.

I'm hoping that's your problem. Definitely one of the most reliable semiauto .22 pistols I've ever owned (been through 3 different models)and they required no diddling with extractors or magazine tweaking. Please let us know if this solves the problem.

The bent spring guide is very easy to bend when assembling or disassembling during cleaning. This happened to me already. You can bend it with your hands real easy or use a brass hammer and hammer it back into place, just tap lightly. I did this and works great. To be safe I ordered extra guides from midway for back up.
