"This would have never happened at Black Mesa"
“So shines a good deed in a weary world” |
I have an old Sears Ted Williams 12ga, I think it’s actually a Stevens that I leant to a friend for a deer hunt in the snow. Yeah he’s lucky because he somehow packed the barrel with snow and fired a slug. I cut it off at 18 1/2” and dressed the cut with a file. I recently drilled and tapped it for a fiber optic front sight. It’s a handy gun JIC. It’s the first gun I ever owned 48 years ago.

I've got a box full of Steven's 94 parts I'm starting to assemble. Should be able to make two 12, 20s, and 410s out if the parts.

Extracting the sub-cal case might be a PITA though. Obviously any caliber conversion has utility in an appropriate scenario, but I don't see it being practical to actually use. |

View Quote For many this may be a gun they already owned from their youth or inherited. Maybe it was a gun they picked up in a private sale for less than $100. In any case, I think these threads are neat because they pay homage to the elegant utility of the Single-Shot Shotgun. My Mom still keeps an old Savage .410 single-shot near her in the house. Certainly not an ideal choice in a HD weapon but she knows how to use it and is confident in her ability to hit what she aims at. Those are the two top factors in any home defense weapon. |

Originally Posted By ahnglw: What kind of accuracy can one expect out of those adapters? I’m intrigued. View Quote These short 3" ones are not rifled, so it is my understanding that they get acceptable accuracy out to about 20-30 yards with handgun ammo. I got my particular adapter mainly for the ability to shoot .410 ammo out of my 12 gauge. I would get the longer 8" rifled adapters for use with handgun ammo. This video shows the results at 20 yards with 9mm, .357 and .45 Colt out of the smoothbore adapters with a shotgun using the standard bead sight: 20 yard test with smoothbore adapters This guy is using the rifled adapters and he is reaching out to 50 yards with .38 special ammo using a shotgun with rifle sights: Short Lane Adapter 50 yard test This vid shows a good combination of adapters to have on hand (Especially now a days!): Short Lane Adapters |

There was another single shot thread recently I posted in my two singles. The bright green one is a 20 gauge NEF Zombie gun I did for my step daughter when she was fourteen.

I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, "O.K.I'll be part of this world

I have exact same shotty. Thing is fucking hilarious and aggressive.

These adapters look neat, so they have acceptable accuracy out to 30 yards or so?

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen a 16 gauge adapter, so I think you are absolutely correct there. While I do have a 20 Gauge barrel that fits two of my NEF's, I think a 20 gauge adapter would be handy.

I have a NEF 20 gauge Pardner single shot I keep in my barn with a few rounds of buckshot, birdshot and slugs. It's the classic "barn gun" in every sense of the word. I take care of it, but it really does not matter if it gets scuffed or dinged up a bit. Just keep it oiled enough to retard rust and wipe it off occasionally.
For rodent control, the occasional buck down in the field below the barn when I don't have a deer rifle handy, or for walking a fence line should a snake be encountered, great choice. Good for rabbits, too. Standard 26" fixed choke tube. For these purposes, a second shot is really not needed. Also conserves ammo and teaches fundamentals. Great for youth and beginners when my grandkids come to visit. One shell at a time. 3" chamber should the need arise. Its light weight and handles quickly and instinctively. |

I ordered one of the 357 mag/38 special adapters to try out, will report back when I get it and try it!

I like them because they are light and simple.

Anybody know anything about the FIE Brazilian single shot 12 gauge..I’d like to disassemble it completely to address rust down in the trigger and find a synthetic stock set for it.

View Quote Yeah, from the looks of it the actual “Rifled” section is only going to be somewhere around an 1-1/2” to 2”. But, I for the range I am planning to use it for (25-30 yards)’ that should be fine. I figured for $25.00 it is worth a try… |
