No dealer or auction house is going to sell a gun they know is out of proof for a few hundred dollars. Now there are proof exempt guns, I have a couple, which are out of proof and deemed legal for a historical example but not to shoot. Both came with a proof exemption letter. But any general statement that hoards of out of proof guns are coming into the US is a load of crap.

Is this an example? This is a Reilly SN "stock, action, fore-arm"...but is pictured with an "out of proof"barrel? Is the barrel available to accompany the purchase? https://auctions.holtsauctioneers.c...++6038+&refno=++162331&saletype=![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/65325_600x400.jpg)

Holts absolutely will not release that gun without cutting the barrels as required by law. From their view I would think it was a matter of risk of getting caught for what to them is peanuts.

lets define out of proof as being unsafe to fire with modern american made ammo...
most recent example i saw was a churchill box lock with only .060 of metal in front of the chambers...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

Sorry but CIP defines proof not you Ed. Get a clue, you have no idea about the subject which you pontificate on.

Wow Ed, now you want to change “out of proof” to what you say it is. Why am I not surprised by the man who claimed a torched gun was restored.

used shotgun imports from england should be made more difficult, until the dangerous practice of bringing out of proof guns to our shores is better controlled.. Communist.

well, maybe some of youse guys would shoot a 12 gauge gun with less than .090 in front of the chambers, but not me...
and to me, the phrase "out of proof" means unsafe to shoot...
