From what I have heard, Marlin will not work on models that are out of production, due to lack of parts. You should find a local gunsmith, and ask if he is willing to take on the repair.
By the way, these guns didn't have serial numbers prior to mid 1968.
Marlin lever actions 1870's-WWI, Ballards, and single shot rifles!

I have had the same problem with mine. It could be due to a number of problems. Number one is simple just clean the chamber very well. Also try some different brands of ammo. The other will require a gunsmith. Sometimes the extractor springs or arms get worn out and need to be replaced. You are lucky in that there are parts available at gunpartscorp.com which is Numrich gun parts.

GOOD LUCK
