Sorry but i have a Marlin 917 feeding question

[sonof_perdition]

First off I want to apologize for this posting.  Im sorry.  I know that this is the incorrect place to post this.  But, I have a Marlin .17HMR.  It's a great little plinker but I have a problem with the mag feeding rounds.  I have to manually hold the mag up into the rifle on order for the next round to chamber.  Not a big deal but annoying to say the least.

I have searched for about a week on greybeard with no luck.  I have tried calling Marlin and they told me that my issue with the mag is, "standard operation procedure."

So my questions to you all is; can this issue be fixed by say a gun smith or myself? (FYI: I am a gun enthusiast at best)

Or; is this already answered in a different thread and if so would you please pm or reply to me with the link?

Thanks for all your help and once again I am sorry.

What Marlin model are we talking about ... the 917V? If so, mine has done this occasionally but never consistently. I just pop it up a little harder and then it seems to function properly.

Your question was answered in the rimfire forum about 3yrs ago.

btw, that's where you should have posted this.

We don't delete threads once the question is answered, but I will move it to the Rimfire forum, someone else may be having the same problem.
