The
Buckmark is available in several configurations. You have a choice of
either
stainless steel tube on a nickel plated gun (Buckmark only), or
blued/molycoted
finish, and with suppressor tube lengthsof 6.1”, 6.6”, 7.1” (standard)
and 7.7” to ,as measured from the front of the receiver.
The
longer the tube, the greater the suppression. The 7.7” tubes have a
SPL
(Sound Pressure Level) of about 112 db with high velocity ammo. Each
increment
of shorter tube length adds about 2-3 db to the SPL. Thus if you want
maximum
quiet, the 7.7” tube would be best. If you want easiest to carry, yet
still
be comfortable to shoot without needing hearing protection, the 6.1”
tube
may be for you.
Bullet
velocities on all guns are the same regardless of tube length, and are
the highest in the industry, and of course, these guns will cycle all
ammo
flawlessly, including subsonic, so you can dial in your sound
level/bullet
velocities to match your requirements.
These
guns are designed for the serious shooter, who is concerned about
accuracy,
reliability and bullet velocity. This gun, like all of our .22 pistols,
allows the suppressor tube to be removed from the gun to let you clean
the expansion chamber surrounding the barrel. (A .22 is very dirty, and
after a few thousand rounds, if you can't scrape the crud out the
expansion
chamber, it will clog, and the gun starts getting loud).
The
Browning is a very nice firearm to suppress, and is a perfect companion
to the hiker or woodsman . It is a high quality firearm, and with it’s
action that is open on both sides, it requires less frequent cleaning
than
the Ruger, as blowback crud can more easily escape. The ease of barrel
changes means that you have the option of merely buying a suppressed
barrel
for your Browning, and changing suppressed/unsuppressed barrels as you
see fit.
