They are pressure bearing so I would say yes they need to be in Proof and the good news is chamber inserts from someone like LW would be proofed.
The bad news is LW dont do one in 6.5x53r

Not that I imagine there is a 6.5 / .264 pistol round anyway.

Shame because it would be nice to use my Mannlicher at the club.

I can't find the adaptors on the LW website. Anyone know where they are available?

They start on p25 of the pdf brochure. TW Chambers would be my first contact or you could try a well known auction site - some sellers (not many) will ship them to the UK.

Chamber inserts (adapters).

A Lothar Walther chamber adapter that allows the use of .32S&W long in a 8x57irs is listed as £54. Personally I'm not sure that I would call that as sensibly priced. I purchased something similar from an Alaskan company (Ace ?) through Cabelas some years ago that would allow the use of .22lr in a .222 and that was far more reasonably priced.

I'm looking for a .32S&W to 8x57irs at the moment but I'm not really prepared to pay £54 for one.
