Marlin Model 20A ??

Post by 44/40 »

I recently bought a Mod. 20A pump, and like it second only to my 39A and Mountie - a really neat little old timey 22. In deference to it's age, I've only fired lower pressure ammo in it (Rem. subsonic H.P.'s).
BUT, upon firing, the action opens itself about halfway. I can put forward pressure on the forend and make it stay closed but can feel it wanting to open. I need some advice from the experts here - is this a problem with the locking block ? Can it (or whatever the problem is) be fixed, or do I have to find a replacement part ? Numrich has none, any other sources ? Thanks for any help.
