Marlin 925 (.22lr) will not eject casing

[Turbo]

Like the title says, the gun just won't eject the shell anymore. I had no problems last year (2500rnds) and today I had just put about 100 through when it stopped ejecting them. Took eveything apart cleaned it again reassembled and still won't eject. The "claw" is grabbing the casing just not kicking it out.

Any ideas??????

Thanks

How is the ejector?

make sure your chamber is clean as a carbon build up can do this

Looks fine, it's straight if thats what you were getting at. Is it possible for it to pivot forward so that it doesn't make enough contact with the shell to kick it out?

If it is making solid contact with the casehead, that should be OK.

When the case contacts the ejector, the case wiggles, just not enough to toss it out. I tried to bend the ejector slightly with needle nose pliers slap but it doesn't budge.

I'm thinking I'll have to find a Marlin authorized smith to fix this thing.

Chamber a fired case. Then slowly draw the bolt rearward and see if the case catches on the magazine lips.

Ok, I tried it and the casing doesn't catch the lip of the mag.

EDIT: Tweeked on the ejector a bit harder and it seems to have done the trick, casings are now being ejected without any problems.

BIG THANK YOU to all who offered suggestions!
