Backward and upward movement of the lever then causes the carrier to elevate the cartridge and the internal tip of the lever pushes the cartridge into position where the bolt can bring it to full chambering.
With further lever travel, at 65 degrees the bolt is fully open. As the lever is lowered 45 degrees from closed, the bolt opens sufficiently for the rifle hammer to be cocked. With the magazine loaded and the bolt closed, side pressure from the bolt depresses the cartridge stop, allowing a loaded round to rest against the bolt tang ready for loading. Searching for Cartridge Hangup And Feed ProblemsĪ careful observation of the Marlin 39 rimfire reveals no apparent mystery in its design or overall operation. In fact, I made mention of this condition in an article in American Rifleman as far back as February 1978 when I first encountered this trouble. This caused me great concern-especially since this was not the first time I’d encountered this problem. Then, as I viewed the open action while working the lever again, I saw the last cartridge being chambered. I repeatedly worked the lever, but the fifth cartridge was not loaded or ejected.
I then worked the lever five times but only four cartridges were ejected. I had loaded 10 rounds into the magazine and fired five. 22 Long Rifle ammunition in the rifle when I discovered the problem. This rifle has had less than two full boxes of cartridges put through it, and the action is like new in every respect. The latest one was a Model 39 Century Limited made in 1970, which I’m using in preparing this article. And I have personally experienced this problem with at least two Marlin Model 39 rifles. On several occasions, customers have brought me these rifles after discovering a cartridge hang-up after “clearing” the rifle by repeatedly working the finger lever. Therefore, the mag tube might not be empty even if the lever is worked several times after seeing what is assumed to be the last cartridge being ejected from the side ejection port. Second, although it’s commonly assumed that jacking the finger lever repeatedly will empty all the cartridges from these rifles, cartridges can hang up during working of the lever and feeding operation. First, with any exposed-hammer-style rifle, whether it’s cocked on action-opening or by thumb, careful practice must be followed in letting the hammer down to the safe position on a loaded chamber.
