I have a Marlin 1894 in 32 20. I was using it today and it quit firing. a couple of small pieces came out of the reiciever. One is a thin piece about an inch long and the other is a 1/4 " piece that looks like it may have broken off????

Any thoughts? Are they as easy as a Winchester to work on?

  Also, does anybody know if there is a big difference in the way the Marlin comes apart as opposed to the Winchester? If they are the same then I should be okay

  The 1894 action is very simple.
  For standard cleaning, all you have to do is (make sure it is unloaded) rack the bolt halfway back and then remove the lever screw. Slide the lever down and out, then slide the bolt out. There is a small ejector spring tucked into the left side of the receiver, be carefull as it can fall out. Remove the ejector and there you have it. You can clean the barrel from the breach and clean most of the insides.
  If you want a more detailed cleaning, need to remove the stock to take the bottom out of the receiver, pretty simple.
  Good luck
