Re: Double Rifle on Shotgun Frame question

Mickey,
I feel much safer to know that ALL guns in Europe have to have the proofhouse past. That is aside some smaller checks as chamber measurement and headspace, a proof firing with specially loaded cartridges that provide 30% more chamber pressure than the max. pressure of a specific cartridge as described in CIP. After firing, chamber measurement and headspacing must be the same as before.
Cartridges are not allowed to have more pressure than max. CIP, so I always have a 30% margin for ...whatsoever...
The manufacturer in Europe who is producing my double will of course provide proof firing for every single barrel, so I can be sure the gun will last even under bad condicions. (Donīt speaking of plugging the barrels ;-) )
