weather a gun is in proof or not in proof is not an issue here, as we have no proof law or regulation. weather a gun is safe to shoot or is not safe to shoot is an issue here...a gun that has had any metal removed from the barrels should be evaluated by an experienced gunsmith...as there is no universal standard, it up to each smith and shooter to make a determination as to the safely of the gun in relation to the pressure of the ammunition to be fired...

and over the years, i have sold hundreds of guns that have had barrel alterations...have yet to hear of one being unsafe.
