No you bloody well can't.
Have to wait a few months, apart from that I really don't think Ballard will take it out of the (heated) garage as the roads are damp and they did use salt a few weeks ago. We'll have to wait for the passing of the spring rains to wash the counryside and the weather to settle.
The gun is off too as the Proof House want to see the previously chopped off chamber, the 1/2" wide 2" slot in whats left, the 1/2" long welded-in steel plug and Ballard's made to drawing back end that never had the mechanism and bolt group.
Then he gets the official billet doux and the tiny stamp in the metal, plus no fear of a mandatory year in jail for a sect. 5 offence, that is, so long as the plod don't pull him on the way to Birmingham with the steelware as it is a gun until the Proof House say it isn't.
Mike, I've seen your MC steering wheel, nice; RB has done the restoration already.
