Marlin/Glenfield feeding problem
« on: January 21, 2013, 07:05:58 AM »
I just bought an old Marlin/Glenfield Model 75. After a good cleaning I remedied most of the feeding problems except one. It always fails to feed the last round in the tube. It stays low and it take some doing to get it loose. I suspect it might be the feeding tube but I really don't know. I can't find another to purchase to try out.  Any advice?

Sounds like a new tube mag spring is needed.. Try Brownells.. They may not have a complete assembly but springs available.. GunPartsCorp should be able to help with a complete inner tube..
