Marlin 1894 Baby Carbine

[Mike]

I have a Marlin 1894 Baby carbine that let more than one cartridge into the carrier. I can not work out why and what is worn.
Some times it works OK but then you get a second cartridge come through.
Any help?

The cam on the lever lifts the carrier as the cartridge is going back. If it does not lift fast enough you get two on top of the carrier. The carrier lifts the rest of the way when you pull back on the lever. If the cam or carrier is worn it will cause this problem.
