Same way you "proof" a bubba'd milsurp or rebarrelled Remchesteravage. There ain't no cradle-to-the-grave bureuacratic handholding for doubles or Mausers in the USA,
No I don't think it is quite the same old chap. I don't think that the proof master has to get his cousin out of his sisters bed long enough to load the ammunition.
Incidentally one does not "proof" a gun one "Proves" Thus when it has passed and carries "proof" marks they are evidence that the gun has been "proved", the assertion that the gun is fit for the task has been "proven"
