I hope someone can figure this out for me, I feel deprived w/out my favorite toy.
My Browning Buckmark micro was getting a lot of use and starting to have failures to feed and extract so I stripped it and cleaned it. It was pretty filthy. Everything seemed to go back together just fine except that if I tightened the sight rail down to its usual tension (finger tite w/ the short end of the allen wrench) the slide wont move. Its firmly sandwiched between the sight rail and the frame. If I loosen the sight rail screws it will move freely, but only w/ the screws loose enough that there's a little play at the back end. I tried shooting it like this and it failed to feed and then failed to eject again.
What's up? I don't think I forgot any peices. I tried it w/ very lite lube at first, and then added a little more oil, but still same function, or lack thereof.
I've removed the site rail frequently as I also have a Weigand weaver rail for it as well. I've never had a malfunction when switching rails. This is the first time I've stripped it in about a year. usually I just clean it w/out dissasembly.
Any advice is appreciated.
