BMT-Buckmark Maintenance Tool

[rusty22]

so how many of you guys carry a toolbox to the range???

if you don't, you have not yet had a lesson in MURPHY"S LAW while at the range. believe me, one of these days you will.

if i'm in for an "extended" session (8 hours +) at the range, my "trusty" shooter's toolbox is on the "MUST BRING" list. then there are times when a QUICK visit to the range is all that is needed or allowed for because of time. when this is the case, lugging a full size toolbox might be a little OVERKILL and UN-NECESSARY.

though a well designed pistol, the buckmark CAN, if preventive measures (applying threadlocking compound on a couple screws) are not taken, go from running like a race car to running like a "clunker". most of the time, the "culprit" to some of your troubles during your range session is a mere screw beginning to loosen up.

here's a little "WIDGET" i came up with for those times when carrying a FULL toolkit is not practical.

BUCKMARK MAINTENANCE TOOL:



3/32 HEX BIT:



3/32 HEX BIT FOR INSTALLING AND REMOVING FRONT AND REAR SIGHT BASE SCREWS:



SAME BIT CAN BE USED FOR THOSE WHO'VE SWITCHED TO ALLEN TYPE GRIP SCREWS:



TO BE CONTINUED...

BMT - BUCKMARK MAINTENANCE TOOL PART II

3/16 SLOTTED BIT FOR ADJUSTING PRO-TARGET SIGHTS:



ELEVATION AND WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT:



THUMBSAVER / MAG LOADER:



SPRING RETAINER CHANNEL:

this feature on the tool allows you to EASILY remove the slide (models with firing pin assembly blocks) WITHOUT BENDING OR DAMAGE TO THE RECOIL SPRING ROD.

BMT-Buckmark Maintenance Tool

Rusty22:

Great little tool. I do not own a Buckmark but the concept is solid.

Good thinking and good work.

I bet you would sell one if someone asked. Right?

Umm, thats is an awesome tool. Where do I get one :-) I carry a medium sized tool bag to the range, I need to grow it though it needs some compartments so i can organize a bit. i have noticed i carry spare parts now as well as tools to field strip glocks, AR's and cleaning supplies (hmm reminds me my patch supply is low). ok gonna go research a new range bag.

[rusty22]

thanks...

ed,

first of all, thanks for the kind words and compliments.

I do not own a Buckmark but ...

you sir, are missing out on a great little pistol, ut it's not too late.

I bet you would sell one if someone asked. Right?

maybe if they asked nicely and said "pretty please, with a cherry on top"...

I think you could sell a lot of these.
I want one.
Got more?

Interesting how you hold the recoil spring back with the tool and how you install the buffer. I haven't seen anyone else do it this way.

Rusty I saw this on RFC... pm me on how to purchase. Thanks!

[smokingloon]

i haven't seen such a great invention since sliced bread. I always hated taking the guide rod out. That makes it really simple. Almost too simple. I will be interested in purchase depending on price.

Hate to bump a 4 month old thread, but...ever make any of these for sale? Interested as I have 2 Buckmarks...
