WOW ... someone got one worse than mine. Mine would fail to fire 2-3 time a magazine full ... with a similar number of fail to ejects (always extracted). CCI Blazer were 100% fail to eject!!

Was hoping it just needed broken in ... NOPE ... condition continued.

Quick trip to Marlin a few months ago, came back in 2-3 weeks, all was fine. Works like its supposed to ... with on problems, but there's only a couple hundred rounds through it in one range trip and no CCI Blazers yet ... but I'm confident it will be fine!!

So I can see it being possible depending on the ammo eagle tried.

Send it back ... to the factory or sell it to me for $101 smile
