I've had a gun on order for 4 weeks now (1 of 100/120 sent to proof together) which is still languishing in there. Was hoping to have it for a match this weekend but looks like that's not happening

Proofhouse Turnaround Times
Does anyone have any insider, or otherwise knowledge of the turnaround times for the proofhouses at the moment? Most people I've asked seem to think between 1 and 3 weeks but if big/important shipments come in they would be prioritised over a shipment of say 50 commercial guns.

Not sure about Birmingham .
Regardless of any shipment size , its a minimum 50% surcharge for priority proofing .

I remember putting 8 actions in for Proof, they said there was one more job then it was me, three weeks later they admitted the one job was several hundred shotguns. I am awaiting the return of something right now.

The proof house people couldn't lie straight in bed.

I submitted my DIY moderator to London.
Upon collection in person on Tues, I noticed extensive building renovations in progress on the ground floor interior. No doubt there are more and maybe this is a factor ?
