I recently bought one of the common surplus H&K 26.5mm flare gun copies, and I also bought one of these "subcaliber inserts" that allows it to shoot .410/45 colt. http://www.kennesawcannon.com/subcaliberdevice.php
I'm impressed with the quality of the flare gun and the insert, especially considering I only paid about $120 for both. (with no dealer paperwork!)
The problem is the little latch on the end of the barrel of my flare gun prevents the subcaliber adapter from being seated all the way. Does anybody know what I can do about this? I'm wondering if maybe I can cut off the little metal latch (not sure what it's for, it doesn't hold the barrel down) or file a notch in the insert itself to make room for it.
