Question 5 of 5

5. Question
Which one of the statements below is correct about the Marlin 97?
- When the action is cycled, the finger lever overrides the spring-loaded carrier rocker until the carrier rocker pops back up. When the finger lever is returned to it closed/locked up position, the finger lever will hit the carrier rocker, which will in turn force the carrier up far enough for the breech bolt to feed a cartridge into the chamber.
- When the action is cycled, the finger lever will make direct contact with the carrier to hold the carrier down far enough for carrier rocker to compress the finger lever spring, at which point the carrier rocker loses engagement with the carrier, allowing the carrier to rise far enough for the breech bolt to feed a cartridge into the chamber.
- The locking lug located on the bottom of the breech bolt overrides the spring-loaded carrier rocker as the breech bolt moves rearward when the action is cycled. After the breech bolt is far enough back, the carrier rocker pops back up. When the finger lever returns the breech bolt forward to its closed and locked up position, the breech bolt’s locking lug will hit the carrier rocker, which will cam the carrier up far enough for the breech bolt to feed a cartridge into the chamber.
- The above statements are false. The 97 and 39 lever action rifles do not include carrier rockers in their designs. The early 92 rifles were the only Marlin lever action rifles to incorporate the carrier rocker as a design feature.
