Buckmark blues...

I picked this new mag up from KCR yesterday and looks to be a nice piece. Looks like the original. Hoping it solves my feed problems. If it does, i'm going back to clean them out and ask for more when they come in... It's the one on top, then the original, then a replacement factory Browning mag on bottom. Anyone use these jewels? How do they work in yours? I'll try it out later today when I get a chance.

The older ones wont work in my Buckmark. I bought a few new ones that work flawlessly.

The notch at the rear of the floor plate. It's a older Challenger III, from the early to mid 80's.

50rd's flawless! SWEEEEEET! Been chasing my tail 2 years on this damn thing and all I needed was a mag that worked... Crazy enough, a new factory browning mag didn't work but this aftermarket one did. Who would have f'ing thought?! Happy as hell to have this beauty working again! I will be cleaning out KCR of these mags as soon as I can get back out that way... Maybe jack around with my other two mags using this one for measurements and see if I can get them working also.

That's a good looking pistol. I still haven't found the one I'm looking for yet.

Thanks! 111 had a slab side or two last time I was in there, it been a while though. They seem to get Buckmarks pretty regular there. Every time I've been there they have had one or more. Some priced pretty good, some not so much...haha

I picked up 2 more mags earlier today and just finished putting 50rds through each of them. Both of these ran flawless as well! Had one round not go off on the first try but obviously not the fault of the mag. Anyone with an old heel release Buckmark should look into picking up a few of these. Mine is a old Challenger III and these look more like the original mag that came with the gun than the factory Browning replacement mags. It is identical other than the base plate it blank on it. If you own one, you probably know these mags are getting a little hard to come by. I cleaned KCR out today.

By the way, 111 and KCR both had the newer style Buckmark factory Browning mags in stock if anyone needs them.
