Longthorne barrels can take the strain

Jim Longthorne Stewart checking the barrel of an under and over shotgun Our barrels are manufactured from a solid piece of top grade steel, and as in all good things the ‘proof is in the pudding’ or in this case at The London Proof House, and we would like to again thank Proof Master, Richard Mabbitt and his colleagues, for their time, assistance and enthusiasm in proofing our first barrels for use with 3" steel shot.

Longthorne barrels Where not to park ones Range Rover

We did this to test the 'deflection' and demonstrate the strength of the barrels, once the Range Rover was removed from the barrels they resumed their original straightness and are currently in use on the demo gun.
