I inherited a Marlin Lever action .22 made back in the 60's I think. Its in like new condition like the other 7 or so guns we [my brother and I] inherited from my uncle.

The issue is, that after firing a round it seems to jam in the port. I cleaned it very thoroughly before and after use but to no avail. We fired it less than 5 times with it getting stuck. My brother took it home and if I knew about what it might need I can tell him when he takes it to a smith.
