Marlin .22

Coyote:

I had the same problem with my Marlin 60 .22. All I did to solve the problem was completely dissassemble the firearm, including the action, thoroughly clean and lubricate it (with Rem Oil, not Breakfree), and reassemble. It has worked like a cahrm ever since.

In my cleaning, I always use Hoppe's #9 and Rem Oil. Personally, I am not a Breakfree person, but to each his own.

I hope you have good results. Let me know how it works out.
