Marlin Carriers with the Marlin Jam fix

[Jackrabbit Joe #414]

Just to let you all know that I have Marlin carriers that have had the Marlin Jam fix done to them. For a purchase of one the cost is $35.00 plus shipping and also send me your old carrier. 

[Widder, SASS #59054]

For anyone having issues with the 'Marlin Jam',  these carriers from Jackrabbit should solve your timing issues

and prevent the Marlin Jam problem.

 

The $35 plus carrier swap is a darn good price.

Perhaps I'm blind, but I don't see anything different about them in the pic.  Could you enlighten one as what is different??  (I am a Marlin shooter)

I just bought a new Ruger/Marlin 1894 in 357. Have only shot one match with it so not much to go on. Is this just a Marlin Design flaw or was this a Remlin QC issue that may have been solved?

Sorry for my ignorance on the matter.

The design itself IS NOT a flaw but rather the integrity of the ramp material.

 

The RAMP needs to be 'timed' in relationship to the OAL of the ammo.   Normally, this is all well and good from the factory.

Occasionally, the timing ramp may be off enough to give problems even on a new rifle.

 

BUT, the fix is to make the timing ramp using material that isn't prone to wear, such as a hardened piece of carbide steel

used for the ramp.   Even something like a piece of jigsaw blade is a great improvement and isn't prone to wear much.

 

EDIT:  although this isn't a design flaw, normal usage of the 1894 won't wear on the timing ramp.

BUT, Cowboy shooters use these rifles 100X more than the design ever realized being used.

Therefore, it wears down, which in turn, offsets the timing.

The photo is not quite clear but the ix is on the bottom die at top. Right there in the middle of photo If you have the Marlin Jam then you will note the fix has no split in center of carrier.

[Limping Jim]

I would like one in 45 long colt, I have been looking for a fix for this for 3 or 4 years. Must be a local knowledge thing. 

[Jackrabbit Joe #414]

Deleted any import.

That groove is caused by the sharp ridge on the lever.  Stone rounding that will alleviate that part of the problem, but you still need to get rid of the groove first.

That is exactly what I do by adding new .005 material onto the carrier at the grooved area.

Now the light has come on!!  I was looking for some structural change, but now I see the "fix".  Way cool answer to a problem area.  Thanks Joe.

Ones I have right now are 38/357. If you have another caliber let me know.

Send yours and get it fixed.

Hi Jackrabbit Joe,

I'm Cutter Luce. I wondered if I could send my carrier to you for the Fix....It's a 44cal. The Jam is inconsistent, but a few times is to too many. I tried to send you a PM, but it says that you are not receiving any...or I just doing something wrong....Please let me know how to get my carrier to you..  

 

Thanks,

Cutter
