Thread from 2013 ..Not much has changed since. Still the problem of importing such,or us not having a proof house to re proof these old guns to an acceptable nitro proof load.

Some Damascus barreled shotguns are proofed for nitro powders. Why not put up a photo of the flats of your barrels so they can be looked at.
