Chaszel Chamber Adapters

Winter projects are calling me. Has anyone used the rifled adapters Chaszel makes? He says the inserts are strong enough for the cartridges he makes them for and look a lot like the .22lr inserts we use for BPCR except they come in center-fire as well.  I have an old petite weak black powder Belgian hammer sxs in 410 which locks up tight that would make a dandy poor man's rifle. Looking for pro-con. Thanks.

I have the 11 inch long 45acp insert. Only fired once. No testing for accuracy yet. Hoping they make a 30-30 one soon.

They are made for 12 ga, 16 ga. 20 ga. and 410 ga. In several rifle chamberings plus shotgun gauge reducers. They look very interesting. Much like the old Marbles reducers of past except available in longer lengths. Turn Your old Stevens sxs or H@R single  in to a makeshift  rifle?

I’ve rebuilt a couple old hammer shotguns with Damascus barrels. I use their reducers to convert 12 gauge to .410s so I can still shoot them on occasion.

I've waited over 2 years for Chaszel to send a 44mag/12ga. adapter. Got tired of waiting and got one from a Chiappa dealer. 
  Disclaimer; be very careful in your selection of caliber and level of loads using these in a shotgun. With mine, I started low and when I got to where the primers started to flow back, I quit. They will extrude back around the firing pin. I will probably bush the breech and reduce pin diameter at some point. The gun I used is a Win. 37A.
  With loads from my revolver, accuracy was good enough to keep them all on a 25yd pistol target (somewhere random on the paper). So I slugged the bore (.432), then I pin gauged the throat (.433 x 3/16 long), then the chamber (there was room for a .434 bullet plus the case, leaving .001 clearance). So I got an old one hole mold for Elmers bullet and opened up the bands to .434. It shot worse, if anything. So I messed with several powders (Unique, 2400, AA7, Lilgun) no good. Reran changing from mag primers to std large pistol, no good til I tried 15gr of AA7. At 25 yards, it puts 5 in 1.5 to 1.75 time after time. 

Here is a photo; Bubba's Truck Gun with 44 and 410 adapters

I’ve got an 18” 12 gauge to 45-70 in one side of a double barrel and recently purchased a 38 special liner from them that is 24” and was well under 100 dollars. For the money, so far it seems well worth it. Probably not for target work but when you’re a hopeless tinkerer………….

Thanks  all for the Input. I may have to give it a whirl. Price seems very reasonable to play with.

Think he only sells on ebay. The website never shows anything in stock.

Yes. I have been on his wait list for a 410 to 22lr adapter. Still hopeful
