Hi:

My Winchester Model 74 keeps jamming on me. I load the magazine tube and chargethe gun and shoot it and it jams. The bullet that is supposed to go in thechamber is being blocked by the one in the magazine. The one in the magazine ispressing up against the one trying to go into the chamber. The one in thechamber is not stove piping it is pushing up on the one trying to camber. Ihave cleaned the gun and still had it happen.

I believe the magazine tube is original and that it doesnot seem to be too strong.

I have had the gun for 16 years and it worked fine until the last two times Itried to shoot it.

I have tried 4 different brands of ammo of standard velocity ammo and I even triedhigh velocity.

Thanks,

Terryt

I know you say you've cleaned it, but has the rifle been TOTALLY disassembled for the cleaning ?

It sounds like a cleaning issue or ammo issue ? ?
