Ok, so my son and I took the camp 9 out to shoot shot 2rnds bolt locked closed with live rnd chambered (gun is unloaded now). I noticed what used to be the buffer all crumbled and falling out everywhere. Question is there anything else to look for that could be broken or should be replaced while I have ot taken down.
 
I ordered the blackjack buffer no cracks in anything when I took the stock off the what I think was hammer strut and spring was exposed in back of receiver and a small piece came out after that looked like it may have been broke.
 
Back in the day I owned a camp 45 and this was a problem for the model I owned
It split two stocks and destroyed three buffers after three trips back two marlin,
I sold it and have never bought another. though I liked the concept of the little rifle and marlin assured me this wasn't a problem they had seen before the aggravation proved to much for me.
