Eh, I took it apart again. REALLY cleaned it down. I got some Q-Tips and got in every little hole I could with the cleaning agent. Examine the ejection pin, it seems correct. Visually inspected for burs and found none.
According to the marlin dating info I found my rifle was manufactured in 2002 - the first two digits in the serial number '02.' I don't know that this is accurate as the stock seems VERY beat up for being 6 years old. I have some pictures of the tear down, I will try to post them later.
