The guy that sold it didnt bother to tell him that when the round is firedthe action breaks open.
Ok, so, he bought it "as-is" i guess and he understands that. HOWEVER, when he took it to our local gunsmith, they thought it would be best to send it into the factory for the best possible fix as they knew the guns and probably had the stuff to fix it better AND cheaper. REFUSED to receive the rifle as they said that it is over 10 years old and they refuse to work on their own firearm that old!!! Tells you that they know they build crap, also tells you to avoid buying any N.
The gunsmith did decide to fix it after the company's refusal. The Following User Says Thank You to Borrowed time For This Useful Post: Borrowed time View Public Profile Send a private message to Borrowed time Find all posts by Borrowed time.

Neptune View Public Profile Send a private message to Neptune Find all posts by Neptune. Single shot firearms are a bad idea in the first place. In fact, non-auto firearms, in general, are a lot more of a handicap than an advantage. The autos are plenty accurate and reliable enough, so why give up the advantage of that easy repeat hit speed, ease of parts replacement military types, at least , etc, etc.?

Only ten years old and they refused to have anything to do with it? That's both telling and disappointing. More to the point, the guy sold a rifle with a major and frankly very dangerous fault and didn't mention it?
I read in one of the posts here something to the effect of that semi-autos are the best way to miss the same bolting target 3 or 4 times instead of just once. I'm glad I spent the first half of my time hunting using an air rifle for rabbits, magpies etc.
Get close, do it right. I wouldn't be mad at NEF, You should be mad at the guy. Get your money back. The gun is 10test yrs old and who knows what kind of abuse it had from that guy. I have tons of NEF and not a problem. This guy sells you a dangerous gun for your kid to use?? If that was me I would be pounding on that guys door to rip him a new one Sounds like some idiot was slamming it closed one handed, like in the bad old spaghetti Westerns. Action type really doesn't matter, its the person behind the trigger.
First, I am in no way knowledgeable about rifles that much and therefor what I am about to write is more a thought than any fact, Second what I am about to write is more what someone I know to be knowledgeable and admits he does not know NEF, BUT: I was told that NEF a few years back completely redesigned some of there stuff and the Handi rifles was one of them and that is why a lot of people want the older ones because they are better.
Is it possible that this gun falls into that realm and when they did the changes no one there actually knows anything about it or have the parts? Again this is merely a thought and I may be way off and usually gun manufacturers stick by there weapons for decades after they are built, but this may be one of those instances that for them it's not cost effective to track down old parts or find someone who actually worked on that model?
With that said, you'd think that it's a firearm, and most firearms are generally the same moving parts and it'd be simple to track down the issue. Either way that's nuts that they won't even touch there own rifle, I've only heard good things about NEF and HR and this is one of the very few I've even heard being broken at all.
Glad you got it fixed, sucks the company wouldn't even help you out though. WolfSpring View Public Profile Send a private message to WolfSpring Find all posts by WolfSpring.

From his other posts on the board his meaning of "ease of parts replacement military types at least ", is that if shtf he said all the military and national guard armories would be open.

Semi auto and auto weapons have their place however a bolt gun or even a break action single shot still have their place as well. Bolts are still being used in combat and every hunter in the country has one in their safe. In a true survival situation ammo will be limited every shot will count even if you get in a fight you need to make your shots count. Spray and pray will NOT be an option unless you want to die just that much faster. Be a sneaky bastard, don't be seen, choose your shots and make them count.
You will put food in your belly more often and keep yourself alive in a dangerous situation. The Following 3 Users Say Thank You to remus For This Useful Post: Sweeper80 , TachMed , Yehudi.
Warning about N.E.F. break-action rifles - Survivalist Forum
The old ones they won't mess with, changed stuff and not economically feasible to stock both styles of parts maybe. Making money is more important than making people happy. Maybe NEF looked at it and said 'whoa this is no good, our lawyers won't let us touch it'.

Theres no telling what was done to the gun. But if it opens on firing, theres a good chance the original owner figured out he couldn't get it fixed so pawned it off on somebody else. I imagine you could sell it to somebody as a part gun, hell I would take it.

I've got a few auto's, but if SHTF, I'll probably be relying more on the old J. Higgins pair that I bought my boy, a single shot.
