Marlin 1894C in 357/38 ejection issue

[FinBusDev]

I have a relatively new (2020) Marlin 1894C in 357/38. I am very pleased with its side gate ejection and ease of disassembly. Lately, however, the case ejection is weak, sometimes requiring tilting the rifle to the right to avoid jams. Do others exeprience this? If so what is the fix? Thank you.

Check to make sure all your action screws are snugged down. This is when I have problems with mine. Check the mag tube screw on the bottom as well.

Also one of the recommended spare parts is the ejector spring. Someone makes an after market extra strength one (can't get to my shop to look it up right now.)

Thanks for your reply. Took the gun apart and cleaned everything even though it was not dirty. Think you may be right about needing an extra strenghth ejector spring. If you can remember the manufacturer please send a note. Thanks.

I can't wait until Marlin/Ruger start producing 1894s again. I want to see some more ported and SS models in .44 and .357.

I want a JM pre-safety 1894 in 357. It's only a mortgage payment

The Winchester model 12 used almost a carbon copy. And yes they do fail.
