This sounds like the stupid things done when I was a kid. Lots of old questionable shotguns around. Had a neighbor that tested his to see if they could handle modern loads by tying it to a tree, tying a string on the trigger, walking back about 50 feet and giving the string a yank. If the barrel didn't "jug" of look like a peeled banana, he deemed it fit.

By the way, isn't that how they are proofed after manufacture, only with a larger load and minus the tree?
