coneyhunter Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hello all, i have been offered x2 Webley .410 adaptors that sit inside the barrel ( or barrels) of 12 making it able to fire .410 carts, im wandering if any body knows the legalities of this? do they need to go on my SGC, they are for all intents and purposes innimate mtal tubes but i want to make sure, will help if anybody knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiDriver Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 To my understanding a shotgun certificate is not bore/guage specific so from that point of view I can see howit could be illegal. As to safety aspect, I have no idea, I also can't imagine why you'd want to fire piddly little 410 carts out of a 12g ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Effectively they are just tubes so I don't think there is any requirement for them to go on an SGC or even to hold one to buy them, there are a few reasons for using them .410 clay comps as one bit of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoy1979 Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Perfectly legal as you say they are only tubes, may not pattern very well though. I believe they were used by warreners for shooting rabbits up against rabbit netting in plantations, although I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 no need to go on sgc, need to be proof marked though. cant say i`d be enthused about trying them, poor speeds, poor patterns. if it was a whole tube set, ie 28-30" long then thats a different animal all together, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bi9johnny Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 we used to use them on the local tip to shoot rats at close range couldn't afford a second gun and at that time they were cheaper than 12g ... not any more they aren't...they hellish expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I used to have one years ago but there is no cost advantage now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 They are fine work ok people use them to shot sub calibre skeet. The modern versions are gauge mate or little skeeters. Don't need to go on your ticket either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 I believe one size down works well ie 12-20 gauge or 20 - 28 or 20- .410 but more tends to throw patchy Patterns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 My 12-20 and 12-28 throw great patterns the 12-410 where ok with full choke anything more open was patchy like on a normal 410 at range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
