I inherited an old Marlin 81DL. I know they have a lot of feed issues. Mine does, too, it won't feed new shells out of the tube. I ordered a supposedly "new old stock" cartridge carrier off ebay and installed it tonight. It hasn't helped. The carrier is still not dropping low enough to pick up a shell.
Any ideas? I'm considering ordering a new front breach bolt on the theory that a new one might make the carrier push down further. Tell me if this is crazy or there are any other good suggestions. Thanks!
