The only time I have run afoul of "Out of proof" in the USA, was when I was trying to sell a British gun to a dealer of "good repute". I got an educational lecture about the gun being out of proof, and how badly that affected its value yada yada. Sold him the gun at a much reduced price...shortly thereafter it appeared on his listings at a very high price. Comment was out of BRITISH proof but in excellent shooting condition..so much for that....lessons learned..

Shotgunjones, we don't recognize British Proof laws in Maryland either.

Eightbore, Maryland would recognize proof laws if they could figure out how by doing it they could then tax it, or charge a special fee, or yearly license, or eliminate a gun sale in the first place. Never lived in a state which took such delight in creating new ways to get money for nothing other than my mistake of living there.

Joe, there are options other than sleeve for that A&N.
Sub gauge tubes would at least restore it to service.

Not worth much. Funny. The ones on their lists are always "Early, rare double trigger ejector gun." Price in accordance with the "rare" part.

Mr Brown, you are an exceedingly good shit. I have enjoyed your company and hope some day we can hunt together again. I hope my putting this in writing doesn't embarrass you. I felt the need to write it for the world to see.
