The Marlin jam issue can be easily fixed...at home.
At least by those who are at least somewhat "mechanically inclined".

"Infamous Marlin Jam" ??? I've owned 1 been around 3 others, only FTF have been when limp wristing the lever. Oh yea, one other time it was shooting 38 special in the .357 gun, the cartridge is too short, (not to mention it's not the proper ammunition) didn't like em much. IMO, can't beat Marlin at all. Quality reliability and AMERICAN MADE.
Like Piney Woods says in post #29 above, this site:The Marlin jam issue can be easily fixed...at home.

I've got a late model Rossi and it too had trouble with short .38's. But the ones that caused issues were wadcutters so no wonder... But if you want to try shooting really small and deep loaded bullets in .38spl cases you may run into the same trouble. However I know it shoots 124gn JHP that were not all that long just fine. Once you move up to .357 cases you can even shoot wadcutters with no more than 1/16 exposure. I shot a box of 110gr Magnum loads out of it where the bullets looked like little copper peas stuck in the ends and there were no issues at all.
