I went in today and told them I wanted to pick it up. It took three trips there today to get the Marlin. I am going to the range tomorrow and was going to take it to see what it would do.
I was so curious I couldn't wait. I loaded up 3 Target Shorts and went to the backyard to test-fire into the ground. It would not cycle ( it did cycle shorts before ). After working the action a dozen times I removed the tube and dumped the 3 rds out.
6months and $110 and the gun is worse than when I took it in. Granted I picked it up before it was finished but I expected the same problem as when I took it in, not more problems :-(
It's not the end of the world, it's a popular type rifle, so I am not worried about eventually getting it fixed. It's the money and time wasted
