Turn your shotgun into 11 different rifles?

Post by OakRidgeStars »

A series of barrel inserts that enable your 12Ga shotgun to fire 9 different calibers of rifle ammunition, as well as .410 shells. Not too shabby.

I'm not sure if these "X-Caliber adapters" are going to be practical or just a novelty. But I wouldn't mind testing them out for a while.

costs $449.99
.22lr, 38 special, .357, 9mm, 45 acp, 45 lc, .410 shotgun, 12 ga. shotgun, .223, 7.62×39 and 308.
Although cool, it is just a little expensive.
You probably don't need all the different chamberings.
They will not work in a pump.
I don't like how they don't show real test targets. If you are going to go longer than can be used with a pump, you might as well go 16-18 inches and get full velocity out of the .223, 7.62×39 and 308.



This is on my list of items to get.

I just don't get it really. If I want a rifle I'll throw a slug in it.

The idea is that in a SHTF situation you may be out of slugs and come across ammo of different calibers. This is a device to make use of that ammo during those times.

This is something to buy and put away. Not something I'd use except for very occasional practice just to remain familiar with it. It is truly for survivalists.

So you're bugging out, limited space, so you can take 2 long guns with ya.... ar-15 and break-12ga + these tubes.

Now you can use quite a wide variety of ammo that you might be able to scrounge, barter, trade, purchase.

Read the comments :wave:

bet he wasn't prepared for that!

A "malfunction" where his thumb went in front of the barrel? The malfunction was between his ears...

One of those malfunctions, my thumb went in front of the barrel, and it went off. Sir what the f are you talking about?

this guy is going to be one of the first to go I feel bad for his family. they should prep for that

This deserves a "THUMBS UP" for stupidity !

A fool and his thumb are soon parted.

Haha. "Just one of those malfunctions where my thumb went in front of the barrel and the gun went off." That's like saying "I somehow climbed through the window of my truck, onto the hood, and jumped in front of it while going 25 and ended up getting run over.  Total freak accident."

"My thumb went in front of the barrel and the gun malfunctioned" - seriously, what a tool, he doesn't even have the character to admit he screwed up.

Used to watch videos at work of a guy that made ricin and IEDs. It was neat watching him manipulate objects with his remaining fingers.

There are other companies making inserts for shotguns. If I can find the link again, there's a company that makes inserts to shoot 45-70. I don't know about you, but I can't afford a fancy double-rifle, but I have an okay double-shotgun that still fires but the barrels look like 10 miles of bad road. A nice little red dot (preferably Aimpoint) and I can go Cape Buffalo hunting.

Well, I see two uses.
1. Practice with the shotgun. Slugs are expensive. Good slugs even more expensive. Recoil is not bad with shugs when you shoot 4, 10, even 20 slugs in a day, but as I get 30 slugs the recoil starts to get to me.

2. I think a combo gun is the best tool when you need to find food, but are illegal to hunt with in many states. IF I can get reasonable accuracy with a conversion.....

One m ore thing, a slug is good for 100 yards...a rifle ...much more.
