Hello from the UK,
Have the above rifle, and the cartridge lifter doesn’t work reliably even with a hard cycle.
Have stripped, cleaned and lubed the rifle with some improvement although the lifter is only popping up 80% of the time.
I’m generally loading 250 grain LRN at 1.57 COAL so no problems there - I don’t think!
Am considering polishing the sides of the lifter where it pivots to lower the friction as far as possible - hopefully to slick it up.
Aside from that not sure what to do, although concerned that the cartridge guides could be impeding the cartridge and lifter from popping up - if so, perhaps adjusting these could help?
I have a few questions I want to ask

Welcome aboard! And yes, what is the rifle?
Have you hugged your rifle today?

Welcome aboard, Celena !
W/O knowing what kind/brand of rifle, I would say that (generally) something's binding the lifter.
IMO, it could be at least one of three things that cause your issue:
1) Debris inside the action, in which case it would need to be dis-assembled for a deep cleaning.
2) A faulty lifter spring, which would need replacement (if your rifle has the spring - not all rifles do)
3) A bent lifter pivot pin (don't ask me how I know this )
Please keep us posted...….

Re: I have a few questions I want to ask
I wonder if perhaps this was right above or under the recent marlin 1894 cst post originally hence the identification omission......
Anyway, welcome.....
