Since the U.S. has no proofing houses (as in England, France, Germany and other European countries), most U.S. manufacturers voluntarily proof their firearms with a specifed style of proofmark (i.e. the interlocked ©WPª synonymous with the Winchester trademark can be fired using modern smokeless powder) shell

I saw a pic of the test firing shack belonging to the Springfield Armory, a few miles outside of town, where they tested each M1903 Rifle for function and accuracy. It was a long enclosed room with many benches and shooting ports. The Springfield 1903 - William Brophy![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/62911.jpg)
