Unproofed rifle purchase

I don't know about the other Proof Houses but at Birmingham you can have an "express" service or "normal" service
 
No it’’s for a fastrack service, I think for same day or next day, the normal is about week

It was almost while you wait but I haven't used this service for a long time so not sure if its still the same.

Taking your rifle from the gunsmith without it being proofed could lead to problems if it fails proof. - Who bears the cost of any error/failure etc? Can o' worms!

Any gunsmith who can't manage or be bothered to get a rifle proofed shouldn't be in business imho.

I agree.
 
All the metallic cartridges used for proof at London are now, AFAIK, loaded at Birmingham. So the excuse that London Proof House has no cartridges in that calibre is valid. They have to order in from Birmingham.
