I’ve held on to it for 60 yrs, now there’s no one with a licence in my family to pass it onto

run it with more oil around action and clean it really well every 50 or so shots,my old remington 33 did the same but only about 5 times in total..build up of unburnt powder eventually decides to ignite....one rilfe I shouldnt have sold..but didnt need it anymore as had bought a JW15...which Ive now bought 3 times..same rifle lol.
