Marlin Model 60 question

[carlw]

I have a new Model 60 and have a problem with empty casing ejection.<br>The bolt gets jammed with the empty casing and no bang bang.<br>I have shot under 200 rounds on this thing.&nbsp; It is picky with ammo and won't feed hollow points.&nbsp;&nbsp;I use CCI mini-mags or Federal and the feed issue is ok.&nbsp; Just not ejecting the casing.&nbsp; I have cleaned it before and helped maybe a wee bit.&nbsp; <br>Now I have taken it apart and there is metal shavings everywhere!&nbsp; Even in the stock!<br><br>Is this normal or do I have a lemon.&nbsp; Haven't finished the cleaning and will test shoot soon--just wondering if anybody else has seen this in a new gun??<br><br><br>Thanx,<br><br>Carl W<img class="inlineimg" title="Dead Horse" border="0" alt="" src="http://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/images/smilies/DeadHorse.gif" smilieid="45">

This is the spring as it sits in it's groove. Should it be bent to the center more?? And it is not flush in its groove--it is above its groove as I will show in the next post since I can only attach one pic at a time apparently.

Thanx,

This is aside view of the same spring. It is not completely flush in the channel--should it be?

Thanx again,

Try bending it upwards a little.

Try bending it upwards a little.

Yep. The leg on that spring also acts as your ejector.

Alright! Thanx a ton, again.

I will bend the spring uo a little bit. And if needed I will bend it a bit more toward the center.
