I have a brand new marlin 336, it has not been fired.
I have used some snap caps. I put two A-Zoom snap caps in the mag tube. I test the rifle with snap caps. Most of the time this goes okay. However 10 percent of the time the second snap cap will not come out of the mag tube and the lever jams open.
The only clear I can find is to remove the lever, pull the bolt, and push the round in the mag tube with a tool.
The round comes out, I reassemble and the lever works again.
I have checked the loading gate screw.
I wonder if anyone else has come with a better way to clear this jam?
It appears to be some type of fail to feed problem.
It may not happen with live ammo, but I will be worried it will.
