OMG NOOOO!!!!

Ok it's your rifle, and you can do whatever you like with it - use it to dig the garden etc. At the moment, it looks like a professionally sporterized rifle. Start messing around with any more alterations (other than restoring the original configuration) and you will be spending money in order to devalue it. Pleeeease don't do that!

Worry not. From everything I've read here, I think I'll just be leaving this gun alone, unless I decide to put it back to original. Really didn't think I had anything special, but you guys have made me rethink that quite a bit.

Beerhunter, what did you mean about lack of English proof? (I know, damn noobs.)

Beerhunter, what did you mean about lack of English proof? (I know, damn noobs.)

By law, all firearms offered for sale in the UK must have passed Proof at one of the two Proof Houses: The Gunmakers Company (London) or the Birmingham Proof House. In the case of the former, the rifle will marked with a Seax (a Saxon sword that looks like a scimitar) over the letters NP (Nitro Proof). In the case of the latter a crown over the letters BNP (Birmingham Nitro Proof).
