Can somebody pick up that phone?....'Cause I called it (in my third post). I should have started a betting pool.
There are a lot of assumptions and a little bit of disingenuousness in that statement. The material is listed. You can look up the specs on it. As far as "third world conditions" go. Does that mean you wouldn't trust one of those insanely expensive rifles made by American makers using 1700s technology? Do you know what the Indian manufacturing process looks like? In the end, I guess it doesn't matter, because you prefaced the statement by saying that nothing will change your mind.
So you know for a fact that an American or Italian barrel will withstand 1000 double load proofs? I'd love to see documentation. Italian barrels are proofed 1-3 times with a load that is 30% higher than normal, not double. American barrels aren't proofed at all, at least not as a requirement. My load was far in excess of even double the CIP load for the bore size. How many of those would be sufficient to declare the gun safe? If I did 100, you'd demand 200. If 1000, you'd want 2000. That goalpost can be moved into infinity, because you've already said that nothing will be sufficient.
Why, because Americans are infallible, and Indians can't make anything decent? Ford motor company must not have gotten the memo. Have you seen metallurgical analysis on Indian barrels?
Everything in your post is speculation and assumption, and all of your arguments can be leveled against any manufacturer. What if Pedersoli got a bad batch of steel one week? What if the machine at Colerain cut some threads wrong, and they had a new QC guy on the job that day? Yeah, it passed proof, but what if the barrel can only handle 27,592 rounds, and number 27,593 blows it up? I guess we should destroy all our guns and take up a safer hobby, like knitting. The "what if" game can go on forever, unless you're suggesting that people of European descent don't make mistakes.
You could have saved a lot of time by just typing, "It's bad 'cause India!". That's essentially what it all amounts to, unless you have some data.
If you want to debate this stuff, please start another thread. This one isn't here for that purpose.
