I have a Marlin 336 that I love but I am starting to have problems.

On the same visit to the range the gun started misfiring (primer would not fire). There would be a small dent in the primer but not enough to ignite the power. On the same trip the gun jamed and I was not able to load a round.

Took the rifle to a local gunsmith and they were able to unjam the gun but after two visits to the gunsmith and $85 later the gun still will not fire every round.

The last visit to the range I fired seven shots with no problem. The eight and ninth shots did not fire. I put them back in the magazine and they fired the second time through.

These are reloads but I'm using the same primers that I use on my 270 and I never have a misfire.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help.

Steve
