    Mmmmmmmm....... where does it say that something has to be proofed TWICE. You don't get your car MoT tested twice. It's either IN proof or it's NOT in proof Geoff! Money making scam. 1953 is hardly '....an old proof mark' or an out of date proof' I'd contend

    My thoughts exactly, but thought I'd run it past the proof house first........... I was under the impression it was a 100 year old rifle that requires re proof and as you say a 53 rifle with Nitro Proof stamped/ engraved I thought would of been the deciding factor, The BSA snippet explained more than enough obvious outdated but its covered the requirements by law.

    But as its on my RFD books and could be sold to anyone (with the right license) need to cover ones self. luckily have some other bits that I need to submit so its just an extra rifle.

    Just a pain as I could struck a deal at the Weekend with a prospective buyer.........
