model 94ae lever stuck

Member Posts: 8 ✭✭
My 94ae has had less than a box of ammo fired through it.
I loaned it to a neighbor last week. He brought it back saying as he cycled the action the lever became tight and would not return to battery. There is/was no ammunition in the rifle..
Any thoughts as to the reason that this happened and solution is appreciated.

Could be the screw on the mag gate or one of the cartridge guides is loose. Might be a round under the lifter. They aren't all that hard to take apart to figure it out. Don't force the lever shut.
+1 try tightening all the mag, and receiver screws first. If no help then look internal.
I will start by ensuring that all screws are tight. If that does not solve the problem then onto disassembly.
Thanks
That screw has a big head and is on the left side of the action. Next try to close the action with the screw loose or out. If you do take it out,FYI, that screw should have a 'nipple' point on it.
You never know what happened..............
Maybe 1 or more of the scope mount screws is screwed in too far........check them as well.
I removed the scope and mounts. No effect.
