Sending 4570 back to Marlin

[upongrassy]

Anyone here ever sent a gun back to Marlin? Wait time/overall experience? Just bought a brand new one that stuck when loading a shell into the chamber from mag. Pulled out she'll.Shot 11 various shells through it then same issue. Also found the barrel has some deep scratches on outside of the barrel.

Gravel Agencies was easy to deal with, I had a Marlin 25M that had problems right out of the box. Phoned them, got a reference number and shipped it to them. They repaired the rifle and also sent a cheque for my shipping cost. Iirc 3 week turnaround

Remlin should just quit making guns until they get their ***** together.They should be ashamed of selling junk............Harold

You didn't go into great detail on the issue you are having but depending on how you hold the rifle there is a sweet spot that does lock your action briefly and you would almost have to be holding the rifle up side down to duplicate and this is due to the lever design.

The only other thing I can think of is that you are using hollow points in which case don't work well due to the design of this lever action.

Before sending it in, if you haven't already open it up and polish all moving parts that rub one and other with the lightest emery cloth you can find.

When these guns are produced on a assembly line it's common that some smithing my need to be done and more so on lever guns because they don't take the time to blend that tiny little spot that may cause an issue.

With my marlin I had a sharp edge on the machined opening/ inside portion where your bolt loads onto the rifle that left a tight action and rub mark on my bolt. Some emery cloth wrapped on a pencil solved this issue and my action is slick as butter now.

I would take any negative comments made on marlin with a grain of salt, indeed they had a bump in the road with their new venture but all the products are top notch now and if not better quality than it's former self.

I would purchase a remlin over any other lever manufacturer any day of the week, but that's my preference.

You drank the cool aid. LOL There are many better choices out there that you can actually use ,right out of the box.

Where did you buy it id be going back for an exchange let them deal with marlin

[upongrassy]

There is a few issues the barrel has deep gouges in it,stock chipped... i bought it at wss. just want a new functioning gun.

[ghfalls]

I wonder if you got new old stock, or if they just still have poor quality control.

i had 308mx and they could not fix it and sent me credit for new rifle...the remlins have had a lot of issues since they took it over. it did not give me much confidence when they called me and i had to tell them they where putting the wrong ammo in the gun!

This is not a new problem with the 1895's I bought one new in 2006 and it did it too. This has come up many times on this forum over the years. There used to be a fine gent handled as Ken Savage (RIP) on this sight. He used to talk about it regularly. Google it you'll find the cure for the jamming

My 1895 had an ovalled tube mag. Take your mag tube off and check to see if a shell drops though it freely. I used a micrometer On mine to indicate the out of round and dropped the shell for fun and was amazed when it didn't go through. I fixed it with a rag and a vise. Also the pointy hornady bullets require a different follower in the mag or you will be jamming on your second last or last she'll if I recall. The tube mag issue was from factory. Purchased around 2015 or so.

The only issue I've had with feeding on my marlin was using hollow point bullets. When the lifter comes up the bullet jams against the bottom portion of the barrel on occasion, with a quick flick on the lever it pops in easy enough but leaves a dimple on my bullet. I don't like that

I just ran the hornady through mine 120 times with a full mag tube and couldn't get a failure to feed and have never had a failure using it in the field.

So what you're saying is that this was a pre remlin problem?

I sent in a 336 a few years back. They had it for about 2 months IIRC before they sent a replacement rifle.
