A cheap single shot in .45acp...?

[newdude]

Well, i have a brother who likes messing around with cartridges, seeing what kind of performance he can get out of them. He is looking for a .45 ACP single shot rifle, but CHEAP. Maybe something like a handi rifles in .45ACP, do they make them? It will be intresting to see what he can do with the cartridge.....

Thanks,

Neal

No they don't make them in 45ACP. Rimmed rounds work better in this style of rifle. If he wants a Handi Rifle he might look at the 357 or 44 mag chamberings for a gun shooting pistol rounds. Both will run off and leave the 45 at the starting gate.

The handi rifle comment was just and idea, he wants a rifle in .45 to do some sort of tests with....(?)

Get one of those chamber caliber inserts. I know I have seen a 45acp insert for a 12 gauge barrel. Chamber mates or something.

Here you go, http://store.dinaarms.com/12_GA_Adapters_s/1.htm Second to last is 45acp. These appear to be only a few inches long though, I kow there is a site that sells them in the 3-4 inch range as well as around 10 - 14" or so. I will see if I can find it.

edit: Here is the company I was thinking of http://mcace.com/shotguninserts.htm Available in multiple calibers and in 2 3/4", 10" and 18" lengths.
