Marlin 336BL

[Manos de Piedra]

I love lever guns and have numerous. I got a Marlin 336BL because of the short barrel and large loop. I have a bunch of Marlins, all of which were great, right out of the box. This is the first one since the remington buyout and I was not pleased. After putting the first round in through the loading gate, it was virtually impossible to continue entering rounds. I sent the gun back and it was returned yesterday after 5 weeks, with the problem untended to. They claim to have have repaired a broken screw but there is no difference.

I would like to have some suggestions as to how to fix this problem, but, the gun already carries that intangible "lack of confidence" thing that will mean it will likely stay at camp when I go out. I was really looking forward to this purchase and this is a real shame, because I saved a long time to buy it and it probably has ruined the Marlin brand for me (perhaps irrationally, but trust is very important with guns, at least for me).

My opinion send it back to them again with a letter stating second trip back for the same problem,once you get it back hopefully repaired this time take it out and shoot the heck out of it to see if it stays or goes jmo

Send it back again untill fixed. Send a note as what is wrong with the rifle along this time. Keep on their butts untill it is fixed, I would call every other day till they were tired of hearing my voice.
