Buckmark malfunction

[U.S. Patriot]

I was shooting my Buckmark yesterday, and was having issues with it. Either the rounds would not fire, or it would jam. I saw no primer strikes on the casings. I figured I had some bad ammo (CCI mini-mags). So, I bought some other ammo, to see if that was the issue. I still had the same problems. Then I realized that the site base screws where both loose. Something I did not think to look at. I'm going put some Blue Loc Tite on the screws, so that issue does not arise again. Just wanted to pass on my experience.

That's not unusual on the Buckmarks. I really like them but you gotta check the screws.

Thanks for the tip, guys. I have a Buckmark I've put 2k rounds through. I'll definitely keep an eye on the screws.

I have one on one of my Buckmarks and off a rest it is incredibly accurate....almost boring.

I blame myself. I obviously did not get them tight enough the last time I cleaned it. I know I have put at least 2k through mine, but this is the first time it's happened.

I have had those screws come out on me as well. You really need to keep an eye on them. If I were going to mount an aftermarket scope rail then I would locktight them. If you are shooting the factory irons I would just take along an allen wrench and tightened them every once in a while. Eventually you are going to want to take them back out in order to clean the gun.

Just put a dab of ther blue locktight on them. You'll be good to go...

My became so loose that I ended up bending the recoil guide rod. Blue Loc-Tite and never had anymore issues.

hey thanks for the tip. I bought one of those recently and have about 1000 rounds through it. The only failures have been with subsonic, match, or low velocity loads. Functions well with rem. standard velocity but doesn't hold the bolt open on the last one. Anything with high velocity on it has worked perfectly.

What brand is this? Looks cool.

I think its Browning...

Cheap too... I want to order it but will have to wait. My Buckmark has no rail to mount it..
