100% agree with OT and RR. I had a Marlin Goose gun in 10ga back in the day and that was an issue with it. I had to pul the bolt at least once a season and clean it. It would build up with gunk from the pit and blinds and have issues. And as OT said it may also be a spring issue. Mine was from using WD40 and now know much better than to use it at all for any firearm.
