The problem is when they "jam" they really jam and the gun is "done for" without some serious attention. Yes on a per gun basis it is not a great problem for most but when it happens to you , you are done for the day and until the problem is fixed a few weeks later. It is easy to find complaints of Marlin's jamming but there are a whole lot less than threads about the Marlin than the current production 870 Express. One of a few reasons I like the Henry Rifles over Marlins.
