Shotgun Sleeves

[Dan O.]

Has anyone tried the shotgun sleeves that allow you to use smaller ammo in a 12 or 10 ga. shotgun? The write-up sounded good but personal experience is usually more accurate.

If you have an over and under shotgun, Briley makes nice tubes. A lot of skeet shooters use them.

I' ve used similar devices dropping my .30-06 down to 7.62x39mm, but it' s kind of worrysome since the auto round is .311" and a .30-06 is a .308" , plus, the accuracy isn' t really good. I can' t really picture those sleeves being great unless they are bbl tubes, since the bore would be so much larger than your wads, bbl tubes work good, but for the money, you' d be doing as well to shoot the proper ammo, since the price of the tubes would be more than the extra price of the ammo.

I' m just looking at the potential for my wife to use my 12 ga. with 20 ga. shells to cut down the recoil.

Briley makes great tubes.

Yes, as the above poster' s said...Briley does make some great tubes but I think Dan might be talking about chamber inserts. Browning make some that the call " Little Skeeters" , they simply allow you do go down a gauge with an aluminum adapter.

Seminole Gunworks makes probably the best chamber inserts but they are quite expensive, you can buy a cheap gun like a M870 for the price of there inserts. But on a good note, these things are amazing, you have to actually see them perform to believe how they pattern.

Thanks doubleA; You' re corect. I should have said chamber inserts. I thought there were less expensive ones out on the market. The one I saw looked like a simple, milled piece of aluminum that inerted in the chamber. I missed the name of the manufacturer.
