I have a 94 that began life as a 30-30 and was rebored to 38-55 by JES.
The bullet is a Lee 255 grain cast.
the problem is loading the gun. First, even unloaded, if I cycle the action the loading gate pops out the side of the receiver. I can push it back it but that seems odd.
If I load a single round into the magazine it will not stay in the tube. It comes out on top of the carrier and pushes the loading gate outside the receiver. The rifle will cycle fine.
If I use a second cartridge to push the first cartridge deeper in the magazine, the effect is the same. The 1st round will not stay in the magazine, will come out on top of the carrier, and pushes the loading gate outside the receiver. Once the first round is cycled into the chamber the second cartridge does the same thing: it comes out of the magazine and is sitting on top of the carrier, the loading gate is pushed outside the receiver.
Overall it cycles fine, but with a cartridge not in the tube and laying on top of the carrier, it is impossible to top off the magazine. Anyone know the problem?
