in .30-06. I think it is the carbine model. The metal is in pretty good shape and the wood is decent, actually very good for the age. I inquired about the function of the gun, knowing they are prone to jamming and cycling issues when dirty. The seller told me that the magazine was worn out, that it didnt lift the next round up enough to be picked up and cycled.

Not sure if that is a real thing? Is it more likely that the gun is just dirty and not cycling or should I try and find a different magazine and give it a run? I have not fired this gun yet.
