.32 acp chamber adapter

Some gun shops won't sell you the ammunition if you don't have a 12(6), as "all firearms" that use it are 12(6). You would likely need to bring your adaptor and explain.

I have found inexpensive ammo (usually Eastern European) for under $20 for 50, which is definitely not in the same league as 30-06. At gun shows, $10/box if you pay attention.

.32 ACP is pretty snappy. Slows down? I have fired it out of a 20 inch barrel and didn't find that. That was a .308 adaptor though. Definitely quieter than shooting it out of a 3 inch barrel.

thanks a lot , very helpful!
 
My friend is the fellow who made those adapters. I have one in .308 Win, .300 Wby and .300 Win Mag.; I have never had a problem, nor even heard of one, with stores not selling .32 ACP unless you have a 12(6).

The one thing you should know is that all 32 auto, except the Hornady XTP, is RN FMJ and it slips through a grouse very quickly. You should still aim for the head or hit the backbone. I learned this the hard way.
 
Had an adapter that used .32ACP in a 30-30 was accurate enough to head shoot chickens at 20 yards.Several deer and a moose got a finisher in the noodle as well.Harold
 
The one I had was made in Montana purchased from SIR. http://www.mcace.com/adapters.htm these are suposed to be good and they have an Alberta importer.Harold...............gunshops have no business asking you what the ammo is for as long as you have a PAL

The guy who made them here in BC stopped making them quite a long time ago.

Gun parts corp had some a couple of years ago. They might still have em. Mca sports cartridge adaptors as well. Not sure who is importing them into Canada, but they will know
 
Shot plenty through my adapter, along with 32 S&W Long. In my experience, I got lackluster performance and accuracy. It's more of a novelty.
