I have recently been informed that London proof house has been in a spot of bother over it's lax working attitudes but am not surprised as the time I had to take a Colt Official Police revolver in 38/200 for proof there as it bore no civilain proof marks well they took it from me went out back there was a muffled bang and they stamped it and handed me back the revolver. It was not cleaned not insepected just one cartidge fired and proof marks applied. As I understand it all six chambers should have been fired then cleaned and inspected. It's just a money making venture to them it seems.

I am led to believe that Birmingham is run differently and is now loading proof rounds for London. Currently I have a rifle at Birmingham for proof. I dropped it off with a local smith/RFD last week and he took it in to be proofed. Once it passes, hopefully with no problems, he will then be doing the final polish and bluing the rifle. As it's not a standard chambering but a wildcat I asked the proof house what they needed and they said three formed cases so i duely sent them three that I cleaned and re-sized ready for them. I also included the std head space gauge used in chambering and a not on how the chamber and breeching is set up. Now we wait the results but I am not really expecting any issues as it's a good action and a new barrel that was re-chambered but it's the first I have done myself. I fired 6 factory rounds through it and used three so make up dummies to check feeding from the magazine and three for the proof house and they came out lookign fine.
