GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
The Browning Buck Mark Rifle is a single-action autoloading rifle that
utilizes a straight blow-back, recoil-operated design for simplicity and
reliability. Cartridges are fed from a removable magazine that makes
loading the rifle fast and easy. With the chamber and magazine loaded
and the “safety” in the off safe or fire position, the rifle will fire a
single cartridge with each successive pull of the trigger until the
chamber and magazine are empty. The slide of the rifle is designed to
stay open after the last cartridge has been fired. The frame is made
from CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum to ensure tight, consistent
parts fit and excellent reliability.
DO NOT DRY FIRE THE BUCK MARK RIFLE. DRY FIRING MAY DAMAGE THE
FIREARM COMPONENTS, POSSIBLY RENDERING THE FIREARM INOPERABLE.
NOMENCLATURE
In conventional firearm terminology, the position and movement of
parts are described as they occur with the rifle horizontal and in
normal firing position; i.e. the muzzle is forward or front; the sights
are upward or on top. For general nomenclature refer to Figure 1.
General functions and procedures are described and illustrated using a
Buck Mark Sporter Rifle. Procedures unique to individual models are
