Failure of bolt to lock, 1894M

Post by brian kinne »

I bought this used 1894M, 22Mag recently. From all looks it is close to new. The cartridges cylcle fine (Win 40 grain round nose) and things are fine for about 4-5 rounds and than the bolt fails to lock and of course the lever fails to close. This happens with about 1-16 of an inch to go. This may happen with no other cases in the magazine. I have thourgfly cleaned the rifle. Hope someone can point me in the correct direction as Marlinwill no longer work on this model.

Regards
Brian
