I waffled between the buckmark and Mark IV. I went with mark 4 because of the ease of field stripping and cleaning, so friken simple and quick. Browing needs to redesign the take down of the buckmark, it's stupid!
I love my contour!! For light cleaning I use a pull through snake. But a deep clean i do disassemble it like you are doing here. I also find that it does nit affect my red dot accuracy at all.
Truly awesome. Thanks for sharing sir. Out of curiousity, how would this version of the Buck Mark compare to the Buck Mark Field Target in terms of target/competition shooting?
The Buck Mark is a fantastic .22 pistol. You can use a pull through cable cleaner(Real Avid makes a kit) instead of removing the barrel for easier cleaning.
This is from a review that someone did to the 7.25 inch barrel “Well, after I literally bent a hex-head wrench trying to loosen the 3 screws, I called Browning Tech Support and was told that the screws are "permanently loctite'd in"
I've had three Browning Buck Marks. Taking out the barrel from the frame for the FIRST time, you need to use a heat gun to loosen away the thread lock that Browning use in the factory. Be careful doing this as you can warp the frame if you rush the process and aren't careful. Use low heat. It will take several application of heat as you try loosening that barrel screw. It's a good quality 22LR which I like better than Ruger Mark IV and the Smith & Wesson cheaper model, not the expensive model of SW.
The field strip process sucks big time on the Browning - makes a Ruger mk4 with the one button disassembly seem like NASA technology. Two different allen wrenches, small washers that can easily get lost, barrel screw that can back out , having to take an optic off just to strip it - what were they thinking? The Browning notion that one should clean it through the open action seems like they knew they messed up.

I am glad you enjoy it too!
Good morning, Jason, who doesn't love a good strip and assemble video, Cheers
I knew you would enjoy it.
Truly awesome. Thanks for sharing sir.

Hi Jason, thanks for the video. It is great! Just wondering if we remove the top picatinny rail, do we need to re zero once put it back? Thanks
I probably would, but it should be close.

But I am OCD and need to get it super clean!
wat is de maat / van de sleutel om de loop los te krijgen ??
I am not 100% sure. I no longer have this pistol in for review.
How hard were the screws to remove?
Thanks for the video
Not hard at all.

Great points. It needs a big redesign to address it.
Maybe you could have a look Ruger Mk3 field strip.
Ok that looks like a pain to clean and strip
It kind of is. I guess you could get used to it though.
