Marlin LA Question

My Bro has a Marlin (JM marked) 336 in 35 Rem. Every time he takes it to the range, he gets off 3 shots, then it will not fire again. Puts it away, then try again at another time with the same results. Seems to me there is some heat binding in the bolt, firing pin hole, or firing pin. He's in Fla and I'm in Ohio so I can't look at it. What is the wisdom of you folks ?
