Re: Proof loads

Mickey,

That's great but who offers the service? I asked this question on a different thread and received no replies. My understanding is unless you have an import/export firearms license you can't send it yourself.

I've been reading most of these threads with interest because I've built a couple of my own DR's and currently am machining a snap action out of 4140 and would like to get it proofed when done.

The interesting thing I've learned in my reading of the proofing process is how strict it is. For example pretty much any work on the barrels at all will negate the proof. In fact if the gun is refinished multiple times and the polishing removes enough weight from the barrels they are no longer in proof.
