I have been having problems with a round not ejecting on my Marlin XT-22. It is a magazine fed bolt action, and when the bolt is pulled back the round has not even moved. It is almost as if the extractor hook is not grabbing the rim of the shell, or is letting go as the bolt is rotated (there is a slight backward camming action as the bolt is rotated). The gun has been cleaned and checked, though I could try again if I knew where to look.

I was hoping to get some ideas about where to look for problems. I'd rather not send it back to Marlin, though if I knew where to look I could take it to a local gunsmith.

Thanks for your advice.
