The US manufactures far more fireamrs without a national proof law than the Brits ever dreamed of. Today the British firearms trade is almost invisible. The added cost of the proof bureaucracy helped do that.


SR4759, what's your point? As far as I can tell we are discussing the feasibility of ColoradoMatt taking an American built custom rifle to GB for proofing. I really don't see what that has to do with the downfall of the British gun trade.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

What is the feasibility of doing something worthless? I think he is more concerned about the snob value of the proof marks.

I had a nice long converstion with Matt, and the LAST word I would use when talking about him is snob.
What is wrong with trying to replicate, with as much authenticity as possible, probably one of the most facmous rifles to people who hunt or would like to hunt Africa? I hope he can get it done!

I hope he does too. In context it is a neat idea.
As long as he doesn't want me to buy his plane ticket...
