I’m selling my 16 bore to .410 adaptor made by ‘Midland Gun co Birmingham’. For 2 1/2 inch chambered gun and 2 1/2 inch .410 cartridges. In good condition for its age. The chamber is good and clean but some pitting at the other end of adaptor.

£50 posted

open to sensible offers.

I have never known adapters to be restricted, or licensed, unless they are rifled.

An adapter is purely a 'sheath' or 'reducer' into which a smaller bore shell can be inserted and fired in a larger 'parent' gun.

I have been using .410 adapters since 1962.

I have used Webley, Browning 'Little Skeeters' and Savage 'Fourtenners' (longer version).

Recently, a chappie nearby has been turning out copies of Skeeters in 'Aircraft Grade' aluminium*....and good they are too! 

Reducers do not need to be proof tested.

*that's 'aluminum' to those across the Pond.
