Earlier, I mentioned that my Bauer was malfunctioning. Manually racking the slide would cock the striker and feed a round. Upon firing, the round would eject, but the striker wouldn't cock. This resulted in the firing pin (which functions as ejector in the Baby) extended from the breech face, blocking the fresh cartridge from rising up and chambering.
I tried everything I could, analyzing every aspect of operation and design which could cause such a malfunction. Each time, I would try incremental adjustments, and test fire, resulting in the same jam.
A friend on another board gifted me a Bauer internal parts set, and I completely stripped the little pistol.
Working on a tiny pistol like a Baby requires a lot of patience, especially when replacing tiny parts in tiny places under spring pressure, and putting tiny pins back in.
I also ordered a new striker, recoil spring, firing pin spring, and cocking pin assembly.
Finally, success. 50rds fired at the range with zero failure. The little Bauer is a blast when it works, and seven rounds can be fired fairly quickly.
Even though the sights are largely decorative, I fired for accuracy at 7yds...the results weren't bad:
So, after an unintentional course in Browning Baby mechanics, I now consider myself to be a fully qualified Browning Baby armorer.
