It is very disturbing that to date the London Proof House is still continuing to destroy NEW guns.
It reminds me of when we started to do smoke emission testing of Oil Engines (Diesel) the original test consisted of revving the engine and maintaining high rpm whilst the smoke test was carried out.This resulted in numerous destroyed engines until the British Government Ministry of Transport took the decision to discontinue this method of testing.
Perhaps before too long a resolution will be found and the lunatics will be back in the asylum.
We can but live in hope, because common sense does not seem to be prevailing.
