Problem CVA Hunter 444 marlin

hello:

Problem, CVA hunter in 444 marlin. After firing rifle the firing pin remains extend out of the frame. With the firing pin extended, not able to closes the action with a round in the barrel. By pulling the hammer back the firing pin will go back into receiver and allow the action to close. any suggestions?

thanks for any input.

Sounds like the transfer bar is sticking and not retracting when the trigger is released after firing. It seems to retract down once you pull back on the hammer. Might need to clean out the receiver area really good including the hammer/trigger/transfer bar/firing pin areas and then lube with CLP or similar. You might be able to hose it out with non-cholorinated brake cleaner and then blow it out with compressed air. Definitely don't try to close it on a live shell with the firing pin pin protruding. It could shear off the firing pin tip or ignite the round in the chamber.

I agree with Hunter. I’m assuming you are unable to push the pin back in with finger pressure? I’ve broken down a few old crack barrel shotguns over the years, usually to replace hammer springs or firing pins. Usually it’s just a matter of punching out a couple of pins. If you can push it back in with finger pressure it could be the firing pin spring.
