Marlin 22 mag

huntatnight · December 29, 2005, 06:45 PM

Anyone having trouble with bullets hanging up and not being thrust forward into the barrel? Seems like the rims are getting caught on each other in the magazine and man was I surprised while hunting a predator. SOUNDED like one went in while throwing the bolt forward, and then, "Click". No shot, no predator! Help!!

I've never seen a semi 22 mag that cycled rounds without jamming or the bolt missing a round entirely, especially a Marlin. The action is too long for the low recoil to operate it.
