Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Browning Buckmark trigger job

Went from about 52 oz down to 28 with a trigger flip. Not bad for a bit of time following youtube videos instructions.

I had the same results a few months back. Quick and easy trigger job.

Schit, I don't think I'd want mine any lighter than it is.

Great trigger.

Nice pic fish - you paint the grips?

Travis - is yours stock? Curious what # if you know offhand.

Mine was not bad - but now, the sights do not quiver when I trip the trigger.

It is. I do not.

I youtubed it. Looks like you just reverse that spring?



Travs

Indeed.

If you do it, be sure to put the tab end facing the muzzle, in the center of the sear, there is a V-notch. After you install it, you can check to make sure the safety is engaged. Also, you want to test the hammer/sear by cocking the hammer back and pulling trigger. You have to push down completely fully to engage. Also, you have a mag disconnect so you need the mag in to function. Lastly, I think you can do this on many models that have the thin synthetic grips, without removing the grips. Hope that helps.

I did paint my own with a rattle can

My Buckmark is bone stock, and it measures 2.75 lbs on my RCBS trigger scale. My MKIII is all VQ and Clark internals, and it measures 1.75 lbs. I have no trouble shooting the Buckmark as accurately as the MKIII, except for the lack of an overtravel stop on the Buckmark - and that doesn't seem to be enough of an impediment to bother much with for a gun that is not and will not be used by me in any sort of competition. A clean 2.75 is plenty good for a field piece, IME. If I were more serious about that Buckmark, I'd want that overtravel stop before anything else. Anybody know if there is a simple mod for that?

Fish - looks good.

Free me - the OEM BM trigger is crisp. What kind of accuracy are you seeing with it and your MKIII at say 25 yds?

Ha! It's been ages since I could see a target bullseye at 25 yards well enough to judge accuracy of a non-scoped handgun. I use both for small game hunting. I also like to bust clay targets at 50 and 100 yds. I do better at 100 with the MKIII - but it has the dot sight on it as well, so it's not a fair comparison.

Seriously - it's been a long time since I put either on paper at the indoor range. The only targets that I seem to have saved show groups under an inch for ten shots for several loads in both guns, and that was iron sights on both. The best target (not by much) is from the Buckmark with Remington subsonics.

Well I can say that MKIIs and BM both out shoot me, though I have done pretty well on my better days. No doubt ammo matters, as well as the hand/eye

Shot all sorts of game, etc. out to around 165 paces, most under 50; flipped a coyote at 60-70 once. 1st shot low, 2nd high, 3rd thru the base of the skull, running wide open. Good ammo, steady sights/hand, one can do surprising work with these 22s. Having started on a MKII Bull 35 years ago, it became very familiar having shot 50-100K if not more of ammo.

Owned many others pistols and revolvers, but these do very well w/o any complaints, and what I recommend. Several good options out there.
