buck mark camper help please

lrglnman · September 28, 2005, 07:04 PM

got a bm camper a few months ago and am starting to have probs with the trigger engaging the firing mechanisem.
here is the senerio. load up gun shoot a few rounds the pull the trigger to shoot the next bullet and the nothing happens the firing pin does not release some times it will not engage for a few trigger pulls some times it will engage on the next pull. It feels like the trigger almost catches the fireing mechanism but does not catch it enough to fire.

the gun is clean. any help please.

Either send it back to Browning or to a good gunsmith .It probably needs some careful work on the trigger and hammer.Not for an amateur to do.

Clean it again ,make sure the trigger moves foward all the way, and is'nt binding anywhere

What ammo? Try some different ammo. .22's are like that. They'll either function with a specific brand or they won't. Even high priced .22 target pistols do it. And there's no telling which brand will work well in which pistol. And the cost or reputation of the ammo doesn't matter. You just have to try as many brands as you can. Some like one target velocity ammo over another. It's a daft thing.
My S&W M41 only shoots Remington target ammo and IVI crappola(don't think you can get it.) It just won't function reliably with anything else.
