I bought a Marlin 99 M1 many years ago. It was my favorite .22, and would be again if I could fix it. It jams every time it's fired. And the way it jams is strange to me. It doesn't stovepipe. When the bolt comes forward to load the next round, the bullet doesn't chamber, but hits ABOVE the chamber. It does it consistently, and it went from shooting fine to this constant jamming all at once.
Does anybody know how to fix it?
My second question is this: The reciever is some sort of alloy. I was told by a gunsmith that that was the problem, and the rifle was essentially no good. I don't want to let it go for sentimental reasons. The reciever and action look remarkably like a regular Marlin Mod 60 reciever and action. Would it be possible to get another Mod 60 reciever and replace the whole thing on the Mod 99 M1??
Thanks!
