My brother had shot a wild hog and shot it with his Walther PP pistol in the head for the kill shot. It did NOT penetrate the skull, in fact barely making a dimple in it.<br /><br />For small game, not an issue, but for protection against the Un Godly, I don't think so. Better than a poke with a sharp stick I guess. The rifle adapter does sound intriguing though.

That 12ga would be brutal to fire, trust me. I recall that he mentioned having to mount a plywood plate on his chest to rest it against when firing. I tried firing my Stevens single shot 12ga one handed before, and even being a full sized gun it's rather uncomfortable.

Though if you could put a little more effort into it, and build something with the basic outline of a conventional gun, you could better aim it, and even hunt with it to a point. It wouldn't be very accurate at longer ranges being a smoothbore, but it would probably work well enough for ranges under 50 yards. <br /><br />Still wanting to get that how to book from The Delta Press, but am a little leery about ordering such books.

I would be a little worried about the cut down case sticking in the chamber, probably advisable to try it out in a break open gun like the above mentioned h+r's or rossi were you can get at the chamber better to prise out the case.

This attachment had, from memory a 15 or 20 round magazine and was designed that when the soldiers were going over the top they would bang away at the Germans, shooting from the hip, laying down there own suppressive fire. In defensive situation the bolt would be replaced and the regular rifle ammo would be used. The war ended before these devises were ever made in any great quantities. Interesting concept that never saw the light of day again. I don't know how effective they would have been, I would imagine that the slower runers would tend to shoot there own faster runners in the back as they were attacking. <br />Aussie Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-24770929626550052582016-10-28T19:43:15.259-07:002016-10-28T19:43:15.259-07:00Hey Jim,
Glad to see you finally getting around to...Hey Jim,<br />Glad to see you finally getting around to mentioning chamber adapters as a "back up" method for optimizing selection of ammo opportunities.<br /><br />I'm quite a fan of not only the H&R and Rossi break action single shot rifles and shotguns, but also for the "chamber adapters" (used to place another cartridge inside a "mock" adapter for a larger cartridge but whose bullet itself can be shot from the adapter and through the existing rifle barrel and its rifling for accuracy) and the "rifled barrel inserts" made to be used in shotguns (12 and 20 gauge) for various caliber cartridges that are available from MCA Sports in Anchorage, AK.<br /><br />I am fortunate in that over the years I have had the ability to collect firearms so I haven't been pinched by necessary budget limitations. Thus, I do have my heavy and long range needs serviced by the tried and true 30-06 cartridge with the semi-auto platform being a couple of M1 Garands with additional multi-fire capability backed up by lever action and bolt action rifles using box magazines. Likewise, my medium range cartridge consists of two types: the M1 Carbine and the AK 7.62x39 providing semi-auto capabilities via removable box mags. And for the soviet round, I have a CZ bolt action rifle with box magazine while the old M1 Carbine is backed up by a Ruger Blackhawk revolver. However, for both classes of rifle power, eventually the need to restrict oneself to a discipline using single shot rifles in order to implicitly conserve ammo in the long haul when not expecting multiple aggressive defense requirements is needed. So I have bought a couple of break action 30-06 rifles (one an H&R and the other a Rossi). Both very cheap! MCA makes and supplies chamber adapters for the 30-06 in both M1 Carbine AND 7.62x39 thus allowing the entire existing rifling to support full accuracy. I find this platform very handy for selective distance shooting. I assume that the adapter for the 303 Enfield was discontinued due to the cartridge having a full rimmed base thus compromising strength of the adapter. I have no problems shooting the M1 Carbine or soviet cartridge through a 30-06 rifle (break action of course). <br /><br />With my two shotguns, I use 18 inch rifled inserts to fire both the M1 carbine and the soviet 7.62x39 cartridge. Accuracy is fantastic since I have had a Weaver base welded onto the barrel and can use Red dot or Medium Power scopes. Then in addition for both shotguns, I purchased 10 inch rifled inserts for most of my pistol cartridges so I have an accurate and generally a much higher velocity platform for these medium to lower power disciplined shooting situations in: 45 Long Colt, 45 ACP, 380 ACP, 38 Special. The 12 gauge I kept at full length (an H&R) while the 20 gauge is a "youth model" Rossi (costing only $124) and I had the barrel shortened to 18 and a half inches so it is practically a "knapsack carry gun". Of course both shotguns can still use their appointed shells after sliding out the rifled insert.<br /><br />I also happen to be a fan of the 22 Mag cartridge. It is somewhat expensive and finally lately more easily available. But what I find handy is to use this cartridge in a single shot break action rifle. If I want the full power of this cartridge to be used, a 22 inch barrel is fantastic. But with MCA Sports, you can also buy a package of three brass adapters that allow you to shoot the standard 22 LR in the 22 Mag rifle for a very disciplined cost saving roll when lessor power is all you need. If you want stealth while hunting small game, the 22 LR adapter, when loaded with a subsonic CCI "Quiet" cartridge, the noise emitted is not more than a small rock being dropped..... thus that 22 Mag rifle can simply perform multiple roles.......and it is cheap (either H&R or Rossi will do).<br /><br />I enjoy reading your "forever" gun series.

The thing to remember is that it's subsonic and roughly equivalent in power to .22 LR. The instructions for the adapter say it'll accept .32 ACP, .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, and .32 H&R Magnum. They also recommend shorter barrels that are lubricated and clean as the .32 ACP can supposedly run out of steam and get stuck in the longer barrels. The only .32 ACP that'll take off with the longer barrel to strong .380 ACP power levels is Cor Bon. The best .32 FMJ is Sellier & Bellot 73 grain. It's actually a legitimate self defense or hunting round because it reliably tumbles in tissue upon impact. Another thing to consider is that supposedly after a certain amount of use the adapter will begin to stretch and need to be full-length resized by your reloading dies so it doesn't get stuck in the rifle chamber. At least that's what the guy at the gun store told me who said it happened to him. I never used it enough myself to find out.<br />http://ballisticsbytheinch.com/32auto.html<br />http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/32-acp-rifle-chamber-insert?a=471502<br />Peace outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-4291678160406901742016-10-28T14:33:23.362-07:002016-10-28T14:33:23.362-07:00Slam bangs are my Go To if Hilary is elected.

If you have the money and need it, get it now!<br /><br />It would probably be good to have some ammo on hand of the diameter that will fit into common steel pipe sizes, either alone, or as a combination of pipes fitted into one another to make up a barrel. This will come in handy later for Liberator Pistol making. Probably best to stay with cases that head space as opposed to neck space. Though with only a little extra modification, neck space cartridges can be made to work. According to Kurt Saxon, a 3/4” pipe is the correct size for a 12ga shotgun. <br /><br />A flintlock musket on the cheap would be no problem for the handyman (of which I am not). The more complex trigger and lock components can be purchased at Dixie Gun Works, and also I think Track of The Wolf. Everything else can be crafted by the handyman. If you build a punt gun (more or less a shotgun cannon) you may only get one shot, but that one shot will take out just about everything in its path. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-52412304942069803782016-10-28T07:18:40.965-07:002016-10-28T07:18:40.965-07:00About that gun control.
