a few more
Cheaper than the Ace inserts, but made of aluminum, chamber-length only.
I know one guy who has the whole set for 12ga, and says only that the 22LR-in-12ga adapter was not very accurate. (*) Otherwise no problems with them.
http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=881160&chrSuperSKU=&MC=
(*) BTW: He bought a 10-inch 22LR-in-12ga from Ace and loves it.
Hope this helps.

Good idea since I am waiting for them to answer my e-mails . I sent two over the last week and have not received a reply ? They don't post a regular phone number (only a fax) so I can't call them either. Are they still in business ???
Just got the Dina Arms adaptor. Plan to try it out today. It's longer than the 2.75" chamber, but feeds (manually) just fine through my 1100. I'm going to try it out with wadcutters over light charges of Bullseye. It's rifled, but the rifling is in aluminum, so I don't think that I'll used jacketed loads in it.
I tried out my Hi-Vel .410 adaptor the other day with slugs. It wasn't real impressive. While it fed and functioned, the slugs didn't even dent a flattened mailbox at 10 yards.
The .38s will be MUCH more inexpensive, anyhow. I'll keep the .410 with large birdshot (like #4) for putting down skunks quietly at close range.

Maybe..
As I recall, Mr. Ace Dube in Alaska only reads his email every other day or so.
So give him time. He usually does pick up the phone though, and will look right then and there to see if he has an item in stock for you; or if you will have to wait for him to make one up.

cpileri - Thanks for the info .
My e-mail however was sent on Feb 2nd , with a follow-up 24 hours later on the 3rd.
His web site does not give a phone number - just a fax number, I don't have a fax machine. Do you know his shop number ? and for sure he is still in business ?
I will try one more e-mail as well.

I know I called hime before...
Honestly I believe his fax and phone are one and the same:
(907) 248-4913
If you check other pages on the site, he invites customers to call at that number. ex:
http://www.mcace.com/aboutus.htm
Hope you reach him!

Thanks !
I sent him anothr e-mail and if I get no answer I will try calling that number next week. I always thought that fax lines were dedicated, but now that I look at other pages of the sight it seems you are correct - he does list that same phone number on other pages not indicating it is for fax.
I'll track him down yet !! LOL
Edit : Received my e-mail back from server indicating fatal errors . ((reason: 554 5.7.1 We don't handle spam here))Since I simply clicked on his address posted on the site, it appears he has a computer problem or server problem, or has a spam filter that is blocking incoming e-mails. Guess I will have to try a phone call .

I've got a 12 gauge insert in .32NAA if you are interested. It has a 2.75" barrel length.
Heh. No, I'm good. I've made it this far with only 12g, 20g, .410, .35Whelen, 9m, .380, .30'06, .30-30, .32acp, .22LR, .22short, .22 Hornet, 7.62X39, .38spl, .45acp, .38 S&W, .30 Carbine... --uh... I know there are others-- chambers to feed in my house. Please don't put another one (and an odd one at that) in my mix!

Matt,
You have more chamberings than I do. I can respect Less is More , still you have one chambering missing , and you are missing out.
You get one guess what this chambering is.
[hint, for a shotgun].
Yep they make a adapter for it too.
Better to just get the proper durn gun in Blue&Wood...I bet your dad would really appreciate borrowing this firearm too.
Yeah I know, I stay in trouble...

Oh, I shoot a bit of 16g as well through grandad's old 1148 that Dad keeps.
Today I shot a lot of rifle (.45-70, .35 Whelen, .375 H&H, and .22 LR), but some fun I had was with the .38Spl adaptor. It did quite well, putting 4 shots of two different weights (158g and 148g) and bullet types (roundnose and hollow-based wadcutter) at diffent velocities (~700 fps and ~600 fps) into a playing card-sized group at about 7 yards.
The light wadcutter loads were almost recoil free out of my 1100, and quiet enough to shoot without ear protection. The heavier-loaded roundnose rounds were still virtually without recoil, but were too loud to be comfortable without ear protection. Think .22 shorts out of a pistol.
I think this is the way to go.

Will these inserts work for a mossberg 500 pump?
And I wonder if anyone has thought about making a new tube and some kind of insert to bring the bullet into the caliber insert, basically turning your existing pump shotgun into a pump action rifle. would this even be possible?
