I play alot with Marlin '94s.......sooner or later you'll get one that has a hiccup.........
workin' on one now...a '79 357...all original......I've polished her innards all up....twice....
when I close the lever with a live rd....kinda hangs up....I'll keep tweakin' her....
great ole rifles.......hard not to like 'em.......
