UK Proofing Question

[Giove]

I think it's always good to use the gauges go/no-go if you want to shoot the rifle, either the bolt is matched or not matched.

Headspace has been checked again by gunsmith and ok. Previous to that I had fired over 150 rounds through it. I really didn't have any concerns over the rifle failing just the legality of it especially if I went on to sell it.

Why don't you contact the Birmingham Proof House and ask.

Thanks for the info but they were my first port of call. They state that the bolt should have a mark which is contrary the CIP agreement.
