I have a pre Remlin Marlin 39a that has a spent cartridge hang up in the chamber from time to time and can be a bit;( to get out without a cleaning rod or whatever.
I replaced the extractor with a factory replacement and all was better and then I experienced it again.
So basically the order of events is
Chamber round
Pull trigger
Bang
Work lever to extract/chamber new
Extractor jumps rim of spent case new round cannot feed etc.
Spent case is tight in chamber heard to pull out with knife/small screw driver. Can be done but generally much easier with cleaning rod.
Insights??
As always I appreciate the input and knowledge.
