[QUOTE="DuncNZ, post: 1954774, member: 51489"] British proof laws require any firearm offered for sale must be in proof , For shotguns this is a dimensional proof , that is why shotguns have a bore size and load stamped on them , if the bore is worn more than a certain size it has to be re proved before sale and stamped accordingly . I have a rifle made by Alf Parker , of Parker Hale fame , The rifle was made and proofed in 1920 , then was sold in 1927 after the proof marks law had changed in 1925 so it was re proved again . New Zealand has no proof laws and depends on the proofing done in either the factory proofs as in the USA or the country origin proofs as in Italian or British proofs . We have Accident compensation laws where the State picks up the bill for all accidental injuries , no liability involved [/QUOTE]
