Thanks

One more thing I wuld like to add - it seems that US (ie Americans) are the ones
who go on about Originality but it is actually the US Gun trade that seems to do them
up like they do - the guy who does all the recolour case hardeing in the US being one good example.

I personally don't like refinished guns as I use mine too much in the bush so they wouldn't look
prisitne afterwards so why buy a refinshed gun.

I think mickey summed it up well - REPROOFED

If the work was done correctly and the gun has passed reproof (pref UK Proof), then no problem.
(As mickey correctly pointed out, alot of H&H 450's were rebarreled/rechambered to 500/465).

"Barrels added in the US and rechambering done in the US are not usually reproofed. This is not good, no matter
who does the work, as the provenance of the rifle has a gap. Any rifle that I look at must have the proper
information attached or I will run, not walk away."

The one I have seen most in the US are the 375 2 1/2" NE rechambred to 375 Flanged Magnum (the Holland cartridge).
I saw a few of the Cogswell & Harrison 375 2 1/2" NE doubles in the US so rechambered and NOT Proofed
and this action would never take the pressure. The Cogswell & Harrison 375 2 1/2" NE doubles were good guns
for what they were but everyone semed to try to make them into something that they are not.

Anyway, I look forward to hearing other people's opinions.
