Thread: .22 is misfiring - empty shells are stuck in gun and crushed - any ideas?

Hi everyone

My partner has a Marlin 795 - .22 semi-automatic that he's owned for 2 years and never had a problem with it.

Lately it has started misfiring. The bullet will fire but the empty case gets stuck in the gun and is very bent on one side.

He uses the gun regularly and cleans it when required.


Any ideas of what may be causing this to happen?


Thanks in advance
