new buckmark camper with alot of jams

+1 to 1911USER's post. You should clean and lube any new gun before firing it.

And I don't know what's wrong with Remington, but their rimfire ammo is crap these days. I had some of the "Target" loads and about 10% of them wouldn't fire at all. Tried in multiple guns, all of them had that issue and Federal ran so it was definitely the Remington ammo. No No No No, I don't buy it no moe!

I wouldn't even try to shoot lead tipped ammon out of any auto loading gun. Get the Copper plated stuff it feeds like a champ.

Just oiled mine and shot whatever I had laying around with no problems.

Mine really seems to like CCI.

Also, my extractor was damaged. I had it repaired and it has blasted thru everything I've fed it.

Also, if you have a buckmark, you simply must get a speed clip magazine loader and two spare magazines. Really adds to the enjoyment factor.

My buddy just bought one of these from Sportsworld. It seems to like CCI and Federal's the best. Remington was by far the worst we tried.

I had a Buckmark Camper for over 10 years and don't ever remember having a jam. I later mounted a Bushnell Trophy red dot on it and it was even more fun, and young kids that had never fired a pistol could hit small rocks 40 yards away. You should have seen the smiles on their faces and we went through a brick of ammo as fast as I could keep three mags loaded. The Buckmarks at Academy for $269 are one of the best deals in the whole store.
