Hi hitman69,

Need a little more info, does the brass stay in the ejection port? Does it stove-pipe? Does the brass stay in the chamber? Is the bolt short-stroking (not full travel to rear)? Is the extractor claw damaged? There are lots of things that could cause a problem, so you need to be a little more detailed.

I have a Marlin 60 with the tube magazine and have had it apart a time or two, give us more info and maybe I or someone else can help.

I purchased an old model 60 last year, and was able to order an original feed tube from a guy.
If you need his name and info., I might be able to find it for you.

where did you purchase the conversion/ and how does it work. does it eliminate the need for tube mag?
