Browning buck mark camper jamming
My wife's buckmark is starting to jam a lot. I cochlea it after every shoot and have tried different ammo. Cont to jam. Had a gun smith look at it but said he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Anyone else with a similar problem? The gun is only 2 months old and has had about 2500 rounds thru it.
Thanks in advance.

I took it to another gun shop and he ask if my wife was breaking her wrist when she shot. He said that decreases the recoil and would couse it to not totally eject the shell ccasing. I never heard of this before, but we will try this.
Also to add more oil to the slide. It is already dripping and my wife complains of too much oil splatter while shooting.
I'm glad my MKIII don't have any of these issues. It seems to shoot anything flawlessly.
Heading to the range tonight.

Too much oil will actually slow the bolt action down. I would only put 1 drop on each side of the rail and that's it. 22 ammo is dirty and the oil will just collect it gumming it up quicker.
I would recommend using some Fed High Velocity Ammo though it. This being a new gun it might like a box of the Hyper Velocity ammo to help loosed it up. Normally the hyper stuff is not recommended but on new tight guns it helps and one box is not going to destroy the gun. I know of some that's all they shoot but replace the recoil springs on a regular basis.
