CLEANING PROCEDURES
Your Buck Mark pistol will function better and more reliably over a
longer period of time if it is properly maintained and kept clean.
Clean your Buck Mark pistol after every day of shooting, and more
often if it becomes excessively dirty. A minimum cleaning includes
wiping down the action and oiling key parts. Most regular
(supplied) into the access hole at the top of the sight hood and rotate
the blade up to 90 degrees, to the desired width (Figure 10). Retighten the
set screw with the Allen wrench.
Blade Elevation: Vertical point of impact can be changed by lowering
or raising the front blade. Loosen the set screw as explained above.
Again, using the slotted adjusting wrench, turn the blade clockwise
to lower the blade and raise the point of impact. Turn the blade
counterclockwise to raise the blade and lower the point of impact.
Removing the Sight Hoods: The front hood can be removed by
sliding it forward off the sight base. The rear hood is removed by
inserting your index finger inside the hood and pulling up and
outward on one side of the hood until it comes off. Replace the sight
hoods in reverse order.
NOTICE!
if it becomes necessary to remove the sight hoods, take
special care to avoid marring the finish of your pistol.
