FIXED - Marlin 1894 lever action feeding problem.
I have a Marlin 1894CS lever action .38/.357 rifle that I am having a problem with. It appears that the lever is connected to the feed ramp so that when it is closed the shell is brought up and forward. The action works fine with only one cartridge in the tube however with more than one shell it looks like the feed ramp is hitting the next shell and the lever is locked open. Any ideas as to what would be causing this?
I tried to take a picture to show what I'm talking about but it is a pretty hard to get a good shot in there.
