RPKEsq. has brought up that Europeans shoot old shotguns regularly. They have them 'proofed' first. Which I think is measuring wall thickness minutely as well as closely inspecting for any signs of pitting or weakness. He also pointed out that Americans don't proof, they just construct thicker, heavier, originally. Tabs or one of you other guys should add 'proofing' of American guns to European standards to your skill set, along with matching powders and loads to guns. You would get to look over quite a few guns I'll bet, and get paid something every time. BATF isn't interested in these old things, at the moment. Europeans aren't very interested in our old shotguns, either. At the moment.
