I know I'm beating a dead horse, but.... Take a look at Larry's post. His 'evidence' is one informational article about what works well in Birmingham, England. Is that proof that there are problems elsewhere. Why ignore others concern that a proof law would have to apply to all guns.

Also note, punched out chambers are a favorite theme, but you might have noticed at least two other threads have appeared discussing original long chambers. Is it a good idea to have Larry decide that 3" 20 ga. chambers in a 20's Parker must be altered and require reproof. How about the 3 1/4" 12 ga. chambers. Should these guns be proofed for modern 3" loads just because you're protecting dummies from themselves.

Generally, Perrazi competition guns are safe queens right. So, no real world worry of anyone attempting to fire it, but it may be better to get a letter from the barrel man vouching for the alterations until a practical proofing system is available. This thought may become more urgent if that gun is actually fired. No problem if you don't feel like drinking, but fair warning, you've been led to the well.
