Chamber Adapters
I know some of you have Police Forces which insist on designated cartridges rather than calibre, but Grampian only designates calibre, so I was thinking of getting one of these. Has anybody used a chamber adapter like the one's here?

The reason I ask, is I'm thinking of getting one in 30 carbine for my Ishapore and making a magazine adapter for a 30 carbine magazine (properly detachable). I know Lothar Walther does them ( http://www.lothar-walther.de/210.php ) and I know an RFD that deals with them.
The plan is to be able to convert back and forth between 30 Carbine and 7.62 (308). I could simply download and I have the loads to do so, but when I saw these I thought it would be nice little project or pipe dream!
So has anybody used one, of any calibre?

Re: Chamber Adapters
Never used one and it did remind me that I have a .410 adapter for a 12 bore in the cabinet that I have also never used 

Re: Chamber Adapters
I've used them to convert a .222rem to .22lr You will find that they will not feed from a magazine so it will be single shot only. They aren't that cheap either.

Re: Chamber Adapters
I watched a few vids of these last year. They're meant to be single shot (one vid I saw did manage to get a few to magazine feed but not reliably due to no pointy end sliding up the feed ramp) and some worked great, some worked really badly, none were very accurate though.
Re: Chamber Adapters
I only intend to shoot them singularly I'm trying to remember how much the adaptor costs, looking for a British price.. not easy I think I'd have better luck finding rocking horse s***.

Re: Chamber Adapters
I've never used one but have seen a 7.62x25 adapter for 7.62x54r chambers.
