Witkor,
My 1894C wouldn't eject shells without literally raking the lever. So after putting 200 or less shell thru it, it started jamming. The raking I had to do with the lever to get the shells to eject caused the carrier to slam back down against the cam of the lever with a lot of force which caused a dimple in the carrier. That lowered the initial pickup of the next shell in line in the magazine causing the carrier to get stuck under the rim of the next shell ie.(Marlin Jam). They promply repaired the rifle an when I got it back it fed everything slick as a whistle and no problems at all. It even feeds wadcutters without jamming. I am very pleased now!
