A used Browning Buck Mark, serial 655NT27848, made in 1996. It is a semi-automatic .22 LR rimfire pistol with a 7.25-inch fluted barrel, a bladed front sight, an adjustable rear sight and a manual thumb safety, finished in matte black with laminate wood target grips. The bore is excellent. The finish shows moderate marks throughout, and the seller rates overall condition very good.

For a New Jersey shooter this is a range and target pistol. The long fluted barrel and adjustable rear sight are built for bullseye work and plinking at a club, and .22 LR keeps a long practice session light in recoil and noise. Because it is a handgun, the purchase permit comes from the police chief of your town or from the State Police where there is no full-time department, and since July 2022 applicants show an approved safety course taken within the previous four years. There is no separate state waiting period once the dealer's background check is done.
