browning buckmark- shoots great, breaks down like crap and made out of plastic

[chucklenut]

so have a buckmark, shoots great. i took it apart once before and cleaned it. i forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to break down and clean

first, two seperate size hex tools that arent included with the gun. thats gay, needing a takedown tool on firearms is for losers

next, the spring guide assembly......what in the **** is going on here?? i took mine apart but evidently he spring left the entire assembly with much haste.....uhhhhhhh i didnt think that was supposed to happen per the break down videos. supposed to look like this

hmmmm, ohhh i figured out why my spring guide assebly is not working right...ITS MADE OF ****ING PLASTIC AND APPEARS TO HAVE WARPED or some plastic ****

either way, ****. i have two options (well 3)
1) continue to attempt to put it backtogether like i did the first time and never take it apart again
2) put it all in a bag and sell it on here
3) purchase new guide spring assembly.....perferably one that is made out of ********ed metal as it should be

anyone got any thing to add to this?

the updates in the IV fix most of the bones in that series thankfully. those things also used to be the damn devil to disassemble

Get a 1911 based 22lr. Super easy to break down AND put back together.

You got tree and a half of em? Lol. I prefer the Ruger breakdown, even pre-Mark IV, but the Buckmark trigger out of the box beats the Ruger by a mile. Pick your poison I suppose.

The spring guide is the worst ... but they sure do shoot well!
I don't mind a finicky plinker but definitely wouldn't stand for that in a protection gun

ya, if it didnt shoot so damn good i would have not ****ed with it at all as soon as i heard you need a take down tool
