Right . . . except it applies to modified used guns as well as new ones, which ours does not.

Those interested in what proof REALLY is, as opposed to some here who equate it to the infamous tire and string test, need to read Vic Venters' article in the current (Jan/Feb) issue of Shooting Sportsman. Or, if you wish, you can continue to misunderstand and misconstrue what proof is all about.
