This little Browning Buck Mark was one of our rental guns and shot a lot. Other than finish wear, it is still a great little pistol so I kept it when we retired. The barrel just screamed.....thread me.......so I obliged.......
There is a alignment pin in the front sight and a 6X40 bolt that holds in on...Both had to be relocated.
Cut the threads.........the alignment pin was drilled deeper than necessary, so the remnant of the hole is in the threads.....won't be an issue though...........I drilled the new holes to the same depth....
Drill the alignment pin hole and then the bolt hole, then tap with a taper then bottom taps.......because the barrel is tapered, to get the proper angle, I used a gage pin and a machinist jack for extra support under the muzzle................the brass marks on the barrel are from the barrel fixture.....and will rub off....
Next I will bead blast and polish the barrel and slide, then rust blue them....the frame is aluminum and I will leave it as is...............
