I've heard that argument too, however, friends and I all own them, all unmodified with no issues when using good ammo. Most semis will stove pipe at some stage with crap "bulk buy" ammo. I would also hazard a guess a lot of peoples cleaning regimes are poor and a leading contributor. I'm not a staunch defender of the 10/22 as the marlins are bloody good value, just think they get a lot of ill informed bad press.
