I try to enjoy .22 pin shooting and steel - when I can and run a 22/45 myself but - there are some Buckmarks in use too by others and I have been quite impressed with them.
Like with my 22/45 tho - it does IMO pay to deal with crud build-up periodically - mainly cos the messy ol' .22's gradually build up a mix of lube/soot/and unburned powder - which when it gets thick enough can tend to prevent rounds going fully into battery. Then light strike or total misfire.
So - good clean of bolt face - breech face and that recess for extractor claw too. Light grease lube on slide also useful but not too much or that is itself a crud magnet! :wink: Bore itself - that needs little or no cleaning IMO.
