If you're having a hard time seeing it, hold a straight-edge ruler, piece of paper, whatever up to the screen to see which parts are straight, and which are curved. Armed with this knowledge, you can just look at a Buckmark pistol from the side, and immediately tell which grip frame it has.
You can also tell by looking at the frontstrap the metal part of the grip frame under the trigger guard, where your middle, ring, and pinky fingers go when holding the gun when viewed from the side.
Unfortunately, this is not helpful if it has wrap-around grips that cover the frontstrap unless you're willing to take the grips off, of course. But, if you have a Buckmark on which you can see the front strap, or if you've taken the wrap-around grips off The UDX grip frame frontstrap is scalloped, with three finger grooves cut into the metal itself. Again, look at the first 3 pics in the first post of thread on RimfireCentral.
You can also see the toe at the bottom of the frontstrap on all the Buckmark Rifle pics further down in that post, indicating that they are URX grip frames, even though the backstrap curvature is lost because of where the shoulder stock attaches to the bottom of the grip frame. A few things to note about old vs. I was able to compare the factory original wood grips on my early 's-era Target 5. They are different. On the new Hunter, the right side grip's finger ridge is significantly more pronounced.
I like my old left-side grip better, but I think I like the new right-side grip better. Also note that the new Hunter grips are much shinier, and more highly polished, and, to be honest, just prettier-to-look-at pieces of wood.
I'm not sure if I'd like the more highly-polished feel when actually shooting, or not, though. As far as I know, there are 3 types of magazines for the Buckmark: the old round magazine made by Browning, the new round magazine made by Browning, and a round magazine made by ProMag.
Both styles work in both newer and older guns yes, I've actually tried this. The advantage of the newer style is that you have something to grab onto if you want to physically pull the magazine out of the gun. The advantage of the older style is that it sits flush doesn't stick out the bottom.
Either works fine for me. A company called ProMag makes a round magazine for the Buckmark , but many people report fit or function issues with them. I've never used one myself, though. Visually, the ProMag magazines are very similar to the Browning ones. There are several differences, but the easiest way to tell is by looking where the magazine body meets the base plate.
On Browning magazines, this seam is straight. On ProMag magazines this seam is a zig-zag. There are at least 2 different lists of prices for them at SlickGuns: SlickGuns - and SlickGuns - Another list of prices at AmmoSeek Buckmark Magazines. The official Browning webpage for the Buckmark Magazine is light on practical information, but does show these:.
In the year , Browning made internal changes to the Buckmark, including changes to the firing pin and it's assembly. The result is that there are as of two types of firing pins for Buckmarks Intermittently, there are individuals who make small batches of them.
Rusty22 member of the RimfireCentral. Bill Striplin member of the RimfireCentral. He makes and sells pre Buckmark firing pins on his website. They became available on Jan 4, I ordered some.
They don't list them on their website, you have to call them. I ordered one in Dec I've read that Ahlman's may have them, too. Buckmarks come new from the factory with perfectly reasonable, perfectly usable triggers.
Most people report stock trigger pull weights in the 4 to 5. For many uses, like plinking, introducing new shooters to the sport, and even hunting, it makes sense to leave it as-is. However, many Buckmarks are used for competitions such as Bullseye and Steel Challenge , or as target guns, or, well, some people just like tinkering with their guns.
So, a lot of people want their Buckmark to have a smoother pull with a lighter pull weight. Obviously, taking it to a gunsmith for a trigger job is one option, but if you want to work on it yourself The simplest thing you can do, especially with a factory-new Buckmark, is take it apart, see how it works, and VERY lightly smooth out any rough spots where any two pieces of metal rub when pulling the trigger.
When I say VERY lightly, I'm talking about 5 or fewer light very little pressure passes across a piece of or grit sandpaper placed on a piece of plate glass like from a picture frame. You can find or grit sandpaper at the auto parts store, it's used to smooth out painted surfaces. Common things to sand are top of the disconnector if you are keeping the magazine disconnect safety wire in the gun , the back of the disconnector where it touches the frame , and the hammer where the sear touches it.
Another common thing to do is to remove the magazine disconnect safety wire. This wire did not exist on older Buckmarks possibly introduced around the year This wire can be seen by removing the right side grip panel. It is the long wire running from the bottom of the grip to the top, where it bends around the top of the disconnector.
The purpose of this wire is to not allow the gun to fire unless there is a magazine inserted into the magazine well. Presumably, this prevents people from shooting themselves accidentally while cleaning their guns, because they forgot that they left a round in the chamber you should ALWAYS ensure the gun is empty before cleaning.
Unfortunately, this mechanism also affects the trigger pull, because that magazine disconnect safety wire drags on the disconnector. So, removing the wire will improve the trigger pull. If you're not comfortable with removing it and that's fine; do not feel pressured to do this! Another common thing to do is to reduce any unneeded movement of the various parts that affect the trigger pull. Every Buck Mark starts out as a solid piece of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, and then is CNC machined to exacting tolerances.
The crisp single-action trigger, hand reamed chamber, target crowned barrel and finely adjustable target sights mean the Buck Mark comes ready for fun straight from the box. The finger grooves, laser stippling and stylish wave patterns combine to form an Ergonomic Interactive Surface EIS that puts your hand in the same place on the grip for every shot, resulting in more instinctual shooting and improved accuracy.
The textured surfaces are comfortable and secure in any condition, while the narrow profile makes them perfect for all hand sizes. Slide Built-in recess and raised side panels for better grip. The convenient manual slide release is easily operated with the shooting or support hand. Barrel Most models have bull barrels for improved stability. Challenge model has a tapered barrel. Lite model has steel liner inside an ultralight aluminum sleeve.
Each chamber is hand-reamed and muzzle crowns are recessed to protect them from damage that could degrade accuracy. Frame While many popular 22 pistols are cast or fabricated from sheet metal stampings, each Buck Mark frame is CNC machined from T6 aluminum to exacting tolerances.
