    Replace the extractor. Its available from Brownells or MidwayUSA or Numrich.

    What is the age of the rifle.
    There are 3 different extractors due to the long production, and 2 of them are long out of factory Marlin production

    Type 1 up to 1957, angled small flat spring
    Type 2 up to 1972, machined 1 piece
    Type 3 up till production stopped, is the stamped one, and FYI, the type 2 extractor is a drop in replacement

    Sometimes you can take it out of the bolt and clean the space it goes into and that fixes it.
    I had one that after about 30 years, it got kind of gritty in there.
    Depending on how old it is, and no more expensive than they are-
    changing it anyway once you clean the bolt is a good idea.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    The tip of the extractor can get rounded off causing it to slip over the rim.
