SCREWS MAKE CERTAIN TO REPLACE THE LOCKWASHERS. ALWAYS USE
THE SIGHT BASE SCREW LOCKWASHERS SUPPLIED WITH YOUR PISTOL.
IF LOST, ORDER NEW LOCKWASHERS FROM BROWNING. FAILURE TO
USE A BROWNING SIGHT BASE SCREW LOCKWASHER MAY MAKE IT
VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THE REAR SIGHT SCREW.
3 Pull the slide back approximately one inch and lift the recoil spring
guide rod upward from the slide (Figure 14). The buffer will usually
remain in place in the slide in front of the recoil post; however, it may
stay affixed to the end of the recoil spring guide rod. In either case,
remove the firing pin housing assembly and set aside for cleaning.
4 Lift the slide from the frame. This is sufficient disassembly for all
practical cleaning and lubrication required (Figure 15 shows fully
disassembled Standard Buck Mark). Further disassembly should be
performed only by a competent gunsmith or the Browning service
