That's interesting Andy632. What kind of adaptor is that?

I think it is a chamber insert, available for a number of different calibres and allow pistol ammunition to be used in a rifle.

Yup, that's the thingy.

I have not seen one of those for yonks!!!

Not needed unless you have a complete objection to handloading, the original case does just fine.

Never said it was "needed" but quite a few people use them!

Didn't say you did, I was the one that said it isn't needed

Interesting.

Good idea really, once you've added a suitable variation for the pistol ammo to be able to buy it of course!

Lothar Walther produce them in many sizes/chamberings and they are sensibly priced as well.

Those are interesting. My clubs certificate specifies pistol calibres only. Might be an interesting way to shoot the SVD more.

Where's the easiest place to get them?
