Poor Man's Action Job
Most owners of new Marlins would be surprised, and benefit, at/from the results of a few night's simple homework, while watching the boob tube, whatever.
After ensuring the rifle & magazine are both empty, apply a thin coating of FINE valve grinding compound (diluted with oil) to the bolt channel and sides of the lever tip (inside the bolt slot).
Cycle the action constantly for a few hours on/off each evening, or until you drive your family crazy - whichever comes first.
When done, clean out ALL the compound with kerosene, relube the action, and give it a try.
