12 gauge chamber inserts...

[Reaper665]

What are these inserts, how do they work?

I think the OP is speaking of a device that is the shape of a 12 ga shell that would ideally fit into the chamber of a break action shotgun. There is a chamber and rifling cut into it for various cartridges and the firing pin would strike the primer. I think its pretty cool, however I hear varying reports of accuracy. I guess for 3" of rifling what would you expect?

I would definitely be in for a 7.62 x 39. Maybe a .223 as well?

The main issue with accuracy is the fit of the insert into the chamber/barrel.

We may look at doing these this year. We are trying to focus on hard-to find and unique going forward

It can't be that difficult to manufacture. Especially the non-rifled ones. A lathe and a long drill bit, no?

Need rifled ones though. Shooting 12" groups at 15 yards is no fun.

And 7.62x25! Now your talkin'!

I like the idea.

Make them rifled and at least 6" long. Just do the russian 7.62x25x39x54 surplus cartridges as a package. No-one else does this to my knowledge. You have a guaranteed winner here with all the short shotties that are selling like hot-cakes!

Count me in for a 357 Mag, 22 Mag. rim-fire, and a 44 Magnum. would prefer the 8" rifled type for a little better accuracy!...

Help me understand the utility of these. You need a single-shot or break action to use it. You have to extract/eject manually. Generally terrible accuracy (relative to a dedicated single/double shot rifle or even a semi-auto pistol in the same caliber). Lots of weight.

In no SHTF scenario am I grabbing a single-shot shotgun off my shelf. Either reaching out with a .308, hunkering down with a 12ga pump or moving fast with an AR.

I would think CanAm has a good perspective into what sells, caliber wise. So any caliber that is popular would be a good start. Plus, I have not seen anyone in Canada that sells these (lately or at all) or I am not looking hard enough. And I much rather spend my cash in Canada than south of the border.
