Is anybody else tired of the "Marlin Jam" nonsense?
I have several Marlins, but the model 94's make me crazy with the "Marlin Jam" crap. Whey don't they heat treat the part or at least have a hardened steel insert where the lifter and lever make contact? I have completed "the fix" with 3 of them as outlined on here in the past. They look great! Both .357's are cured, but my .44 still gives me crap. I have the tolerances very close on the two surfaces and it still jams from time to time. Uggg..I can't believe that Marlin still lets this problem go on and on. With all the brilliant engineers they have on staff, why don't they fix it....permanently??? Anybody else having this issue?
I absolutely love levers and the accuracy of Marlins, but the jamming issue with 3 rifles really leaves me cold. Sure, it is "fixed" for now on two of them, but still doesn't give me the warm fuzzy that the problem won't come back at the worst possible moment.
Does anyone make a permanent fix for this issue in after market parts? Flinch
