My 1985 Winchester 101 XTR lightweight is stamped '1.300 kg' on the bottom barrel. Does this refer to proof pressure or barrel weight? I weighed the barrels and they weigh exactly 1.300 kg. I see other marks that the gun was proofed but no other indication to what level of proof. | ||

the 101 has a 2-3/4 [or 3" never seen a 3" 101 though]chamber which both have a saami maximum chamber pressure. [12,000 PSI, or 1050 BAR airc] your 101 would have been tested to a higher pressure than that,, probably 80% higher. it would then get a stamp [symbol of some sort [usually in an oval or a circle] 'saying' it passed proof,,, but not a maximum BAR or PSI type number stamped on them. | |||

The 1.300kg stamp is the barrel weight, as you have correctly surmised. | |||

I beilieve that all 101's are made to SAAMI specs which would easily pass proof in the UK's proof houses. | |||
