Mark: I want to thank you for checking this info with White Lab for us. $600 is cost prohibitive except for expensive guns IMHO plus it appears they only do cursory examination of proof. In other words, proofing by White's would be no more legitimate than that of the local gunsmith. Let's face reality. In order for proofing or re-proofing to be legitimate in the US it will require a standardized procedure that is reproducible and procedure that will satisfy requirements of certification in harmony with other legitimate proof houses. This, in my opinion, will require government intervention. With this in mind, the ultimate goal would be consumer safety and prevention of fraud.

Socialism is almost the worst.
