Video

Great video. It’s never good to dry fire a handgun. However, like a dumbass, when I bought my Buckmark I dry fired it a few times, which caused the entire slide mechanism to lock up. It would also lock up a few times on the range. Never had a gun do that. I ended up buying a halo ring from Tandemkross to use to unlock the slide, and that was before I found out that you cannot dry fire a Buckmark. I’ll watch your video a few times before I attempt to clean the firing pin. Well done.

I own a Buck Mark and love shooting it. But I was taught to never run any cleaning too down the barrel from the muzzle of the gun. Browning says not to disassemble this gun to clean it. That's DUMB! You can not clean this gun properly without removing the barrel! Come on BROWNING!

Maybe I’m missing something. Why disassemble the recoil spring to remove the firing pin?

Enjoyed You are one of the very few people on u tube that knows the difference between a bolt return spring with guide rod and a firning.Well done

The spring on the firing pin hold the pin back so you don’t get slam fires. If the spring on the firing pin goes bad it would cause slam fires not soft strike miss fires.

If you're sanding, why bother to remove the bluing with vinegar?

I do appreciate the video. I was having the same problem and after cleaning it fired just fine.

Using quite some second hand .22lr, and having sometimes misfires, I do also go further than a field strip. It is always the same thing: gunk at the inside housing. Of a bolt action rifle or a blow back pistol, same issue. Previous owners always sprayed inside their guns. I do use ear butts and tooth picks to clean inside. And/or ultra sonic device. Never had to replace a firing pin yet. Side note about gunk: if you get a second hand bolt action rifle and it cocks with difficulty, check the blind holes (1 or 2) next to the chamber. Where the extractor fits in. Ow, ow,ow. Get a tooth pick and be surprised how much gunk comes out of it. Oil mixed with carbon and lead. After cleaning you can close the bolt with 1 finger. May this be an answer on the question “why no lubrification?”

I see some people below commenting that the thing that holds the spring in place is an E clip - I think that is correct as I have used them in other places and called them an E clip. C Clips usually are larger and hac holes in the endd for C clip pliers to grip them - but your video is very very good - thank you for posting it!

Is that a photograph of Stephanie van Rijn on your workbench?

The AK-47 stock is different than AKM one. You should know that! The title is misleading!

Before you start working on the gun, you really should tell your viewers to make sure the gun is unloaded, open the breach and show that to the viewers.

Thanks. My buck mark is particular about ammo . What kind do you think runs best? Thanks

I just banged my buttstock on my carpet concrete floor, came right out with no damage!!

OMG thank you so very much! I subbed! I'm a former Network Engineer for 20 years & although I am very proficient in the use of various firearms, I have never disassembled an AK or an AR. So thank for making this easy.

The complete firing pin assembly can be purchased from many online firearms sites, it is easy to replace, inexpensive and good to keep as a spare.

Snap Caps and a minimal amount of lube will reduce the carbon and gunk. And all do not dry fire so you don't need to watch videos like this. As well with the 2 screws, are there crown type washers between screws and sight strap?

How to remove and install Gas Tube Level? Please

Bad butstock removal,lol,you damaged it. Flathad screwdriver behind rear trunion and voila,2 seconds and done

Did this man just say removing serial numbers??? LOLOLOL

I just remove the slide with everything still intact, toss the whole thing into the ultrasonic cleaner and *bam* - super clean, no more light strikes.

Oh, this does not look fun at all.

"removing serial numbers" 😂😂😂

Called an e-clip measure the opening at the internal ears and thickness to get from a hardware supply like McMaster-Carr.

I bought this kit but the handguard won’t fit on my century arms c39 ras 47 ak

Warning, after removing bluing with a sock and vinegar, your feet will be discolored and will smell like french fries that you get from the fair.

Thank you so much the gas tube is the worst. Do you have any new tips 6 years later?

Lol you from Michigan bud?

Thanks for the video, I felt like I was missing a screw or something on my synthetic buttstock because it was not budging lol. If at first you don't succeed use a hammer... got it 😂

The wrench on the gas tube is a brilliant trick. Doing it by hand is immensely frustrating.

Thanks

Not enough detail in your video work and it’s too busy in the background. Your handgun covers every corner on the screen. Your bast bet would to pull the video and stat over again and I’m sure you can do a better job Nice attempt of Video work

I put on the ak package. it went pretty well, except the shoulder stock would not seat into the receiver very well. had to drill, shave, file etc to get it in finally. over all, I am happy with it. Mine was a stamped, non angled receiver. looks good now.

I really have problems with the wood cover on the gas tube. Is that removable on any ak? I have an old chinese type Ak-47 is it removable on any ak?

6:20 hah ha its called a Jesus Clip. Cause when it goes flying off to outer space, you can only yell jesus christ!!

just buy rust and blue remover on Amazon makes life easier fuck that vinegar...

i think this is better then soaking in vinegar....

Mine was missing the guide rod C-clamp. Thanks for pointing it out. Ordering one.

How vinegar works really fast How do you preserve the metal to prevent rust? Have you heard of penetrol for preserving metal. I would have started with a finer grit sandpaper.

dove posso ordinare questo pezzo per il mosin nagant 91/30 sniper

He said removing serial numbers😂😂

I know you can get solutions for that on woodprix website.

I cant see the pistol ....the chick in the water with the AR has my full attention!😂

Disgusting? What word do you use for rotting fish or roadkill on a 90 degree day if carbon build up in a firearm is "disgusting"?

you clean it but do not lube it ??

Midway has discontinued their firing pins, they are hard to come by, I have the old style, can't seem to find any

Cool that you for the info

As far a dry firing goes, I just bought a NEW Buck Mark (December 2017) and there is a card in plain sight in the box that tells you NOT to dry fire the gun. I noticed some remarks saying you could dry fire the new ones.

I tried to follow along with you, just put the dust cover back on.

Nickel plating next
