I have known Andrew for several years now and in that time he has ALWAYS insisted on a reproof after threading, there is no change of practice there. I dont see as he makes any money out of a reproof. Proof house charges are what they are. All they do is slow his already hectic workload while he has to wait sometimes up to 3/4 weeks for rifles to return.

He knows it is a belt/braces/waders/armor plated move but it is at the insistance of his insurer. Everyone knows there is less than no chance of a barrel self destructing because of threading but if a rifle did go bang because the barrel had been removed for threading who would be the more sorry....
