The BuckMark Camper Dilemma
So I posted a while ago that I got a new Buckmark Camper and it was having issues going into battery all the way. Someone suggested I take it apart again and make sure I did it right. So I did and what do you know, it worked!
So now I take it to the range and now a new problem is born. No matter what magazine I use, ammo I tried (remington & cci) I get one FTF at the end of the magazine. Never fails. For your viewing pleasure I have posted pics. Please give your thoughts. Sorry the pic of the FTF round is not quality. Thanks!

Glad it worked out for you, sometimes we overlook something and a little patience is all it takes to set things right.

Did you lube it up when you put it back together?
Check out rimfirecentral.com; they have a great browning forum, "chim" is the resident expert and can probably help you out...

ive had similar problems with my buckmark lately! actually worse problems i woud say! last time i took it out on my last 2 mags i had only 3 successful fired rounds. rest were failed rounds with very off primer strikes..i mean like barely hitting the rim of the round! not really sure what to do about it either! really pisses me off cause ive heard nothing but good things about the buck mark and my 2nd trip out it crapped out on me! oh and its not the ammo! i used 4 different kinds including cci's! none worked!

Take it apart and clean it VERY well. You most likely have some carbon buildup somewhere thats retarding the firing pin.
As for the round being fubared, it appears to be a mag issue but im not sure how its being caused. Load one round in the mag and see if you can reproduce the malfunction in slow motion.

i find it hard to believe it ccould be a mag issue! i was using one brand new mag and one used mag and both had the problem! i i did redo the hiccup! it worked great for like 200 rds with the occasional hiccup ill chalk up due to the cheap ammo i was using but then all of the sudden maybe 1-2 rounds would fire! i rand through about 4 more mags and same thing! ftf's galore! ill clean it and see what happens!

Basically what I've found from rimfirecentral.com is what everyone else is suggesting, do a complete tear down and clean very well. Make sure a drop of lube on each rail.
Also someone said on that forum that some of the magazines from Browning have an issue with the lips of the mag and to gently squeeze them with non-jawed channel locks. Apparently that worked for one guy who was having issues. Check this post: buckmark ammunition post - RimfireCentral.com Forums
I gave my buckmark a thorough cleaning today and I'll take it to the range later this week. If it happens again, I'll tweak one of my mags.
