Shotgun inserts.

[DAL]

Do any of you have any experience with shotgun inserts? A place called MCA Sports http://www.mcace.com/ sells various inserts for shotguns that convert them to rifles. How accurate are these things? Are they worth the money?

Reading "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal," by Ayn Rand, should be required of every politician and in every high school.

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined."
--Patrick Henry, during Virginia's Convention to Ratify the Constitution (1788)

I regard those cartridge inserts with a jaundiced eye. Shotguns are designed to work at around 15,000 PSI at the most, centerfire rifles at 50,000. Even if the insert itself is strong enough to keep from grenading you, the setback of the recoil forces against the breech must hasten headspace problems and shorten the working life of the shotgun.

This is not condemning the sub bore shotgun inserts like Briley, just the attempt to make a shotgun all things to all men...

Krieghoff, the German gun manufacturer, does this for their Drillings and double guns. This is very popular in europe, where having a three barrel gun with a shotgun, Varmint Cartridge and large bore rifle cartridge in one gun is all the rage. Of course, German hunting laws are verry different from ours.

Check out their guns at:

also, this is an interesting read about German gun laws:
