Toby,Over the past 2-3 years we have seen many posts reporting abnormal failures of guns during proof testing in the U.K. This is causing consternation on the part of gun owners,in particular those considering sending valuable guns for reproof. The failure of the proof houses to issue a statment on this issue,is in my opinion damaging their otherwise excellent reputation.
Resolution of this issue is very important to the British gun trade and their customer base.If the Proof house and the Gun trade have not already embarked on a joint study to resolve this issue they would in my opinion be well advised to do so.
The University of Aston, in Birmingham, is but a stones throw, from the Birmingham Proof House; surely this highly respected technical University would have the expertise to advise and resolve this matter.
