Spoke with Rem. customer service yesterday. After reviewing all the problems with this thing, they are going to refund me my purchase price. He was very nice and reviewed this problem with me. I told him that I had put a mark (witness mark) on the barrel and they never changed the barrel in either trip to the repair shop. Evidently I got in touch with the right man.
He was very familiar with the GBO website and seemed really concerned.
I told him it was one thing to tweak a Handi to make it shoot better, but I didn't see the need to tweak one to make it fire. He aggreed.
I appreciate all the post and support you Guys have given me.
I am putting this one to rest. I would never be able to rely on it to fire when I pulled the trigger. Oh well, so goes the 35 Whelen.

For what it's worth I don't think a different brand firearm in this caliber would have done any better.

Yes, I totally agree.  I believe it’s an exclusive NEF Handi problem.

I have had zero issues with the 35 Whelen in the T/C Encore, plus I only hand load.
