A friend of mine picked up a used marlin 1895, gun seemed to cycle as it should. Took it to the range, fired one shot went to cycle the action and the bolt will not fully cycle. It seems to cycle about half way and then the hammer will not cock far enough for the bolt to clear the hammer. He unloaded the magazine but there is still the empty case in the chamber as the bolt will not cycle far enough to eject it.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
