the London one is short staffed, theres new superintendent, and they have lot of work on

mine are always instant proofs, but weeks LOL
just as I thought I could see light at the end of the tunnel.......... I realised it was just my boss with more work and a torch.

There might only be one proof ahead of yours however it is 120 shotguns 8-)

It is around the 2 months mark for proof, priority that is.
