I was demonstrating gun cleaning on Sunday, and my Browning Buckmark .22 started shooting parts around when I worked the slide.

Specifically, these three parts went flying.



My manual says they are the extractor, extractor spring and extractor spring plunger.

One of my students was able to reassemble it (he's a paintballer, and good with fiddly little parts), and it flew apart again!

The third time was the charm -- I think.

The gun was pretty dirty, but do you think it'll stay to gether now? Or do I need to get the gun looked at professionally?

Thanks!

Your pins are drifting out. They need to be staked. Come by the house, and I will do it for you.

That's very kind. Which pin do you imagine is coming loose?
