Id like to take a hammer to it...ive treated it as well as any other gun iv ever owned and never had a problem like this with any...its like somebody sprayed acid on the action part..i wiped it down last hunt but didnt break it down, maybe thats on me...

Am in no way trying to be disrespectful but one of the causes of a stuck action on a Marlin 30-30 is a round that failed to eject and is stuck in the chamber. Can either be a fired round that was on the hot side and the case rim has expanded and is locking up or a live round that was out of spec and has jammed in the chamber. I've had both happen. Could also be the extractor that somehow got out of alignment and is jamming the bolt. As mentioned, disassemble - not difficult. If the bolt is still stuck after the lever is removed you can use a dowel inserted down the barrel and tap/knock the bolt free. But as shown above - its most likely the classic lever jam.

A 336 has a few potential problem points. Action wise, that gate screw could be one, they need loctite. Sometimes a defective plastic follower can push into the innards. Sometimes its the ejector broken or tension not set right. Sometimes you can have a case override jam more specific to a big bore usually based on a few batches in the past of out of spec ejector lengths.
I do a “gate job” on each of my Marlin lever guns and a few times I’ve put the screw in with jb weld after I get the gate tension where I want it and smooth all of the edges

My lever marlins are stainless JM’s and I subject them to terrible conditions and run a patch through the bore every three years.
If you want a blued one that you don’t have to worry about then you need a good used Win 94 with the Win Proof Steel recipe that doesn’t really rust out.
After a full year of hunting around the country any blued rifle I get looks like its fifty years old. I will not clean them.

I did that to a Marlin Texan in a factory blued type color and it looked like crap after a season, it scratched up way easier than I thought it would. I gave the rifle away. The problem is having to spend extra money on a working man’s gun. This place has done a few for me chromed that does hold up http://apwcogan.com/One of my favorite builds is an XLR cut down to 18-20” and replacing the gray laminate with brown laminate from a BL. If a person likes the pepper laminate of the factory XLR, cutting it down to 19” with some Talley Rings and a 2-7x is great.

Another common jam is using Leverevolution with a follower that does not have the concave face
When a Marlin is working right, it won’t jam.

Was the case jammed in the chamber or receiver?
What caliber? 30-30, case jammed in chamber. No idea about that one. Going to take it back down in a day or two and really scrub out the chamber. See what happens then.

When a Marlin is working right, it won’t jam. This. I'd be willing to bet that 90% of 336 jams are caused by feeding them this ammo.Unless you have the correct magazine follower- don't put this stuff in your 336.
