reggiegun Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi, Having problems with my sons marlin, will shoot and extract subsonic ammo no problem. But now he shoots at a club, been trying target ammo, not subsonic. it just gets stuck in chamber with any no subsonic ammo. The extractor is ok and the guide plate on top of chamber ok. Anyone else shooting same rifle using no subsonic ammo with any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 The chamber may just be gunked up with sticky bullet lube, the cold weather making it worse too. Split the action and clean the chamber and bolt would be my first attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chamber spotless u-dog, for some reason hv ammo shot cases stick in the chamber, as you will no the extractor spring is not the strongest hold.

Underdog Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Dunno then. Can the extractor be dull or burred? Uprate it's spring? Has it been dry fired and the firing pin dinged the chamber mouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 If it's a cheaper make of ammo this be the cause. See if it does the same with other brands. Also check the chamber edge for tiny burrs as these can be a cause of such issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
