Interesting idea to use a short adapter in a shotgun.
This got me thinking of a 12 gauge with a 26" barrel and a 6" adapter, firing .25ACP, would maybe cause the remaining length to 'ring' like an organ pipe, and give a 'mournful' reverberating sound to the discharge.

My gunsmith converted two new CNC machined .22RF Stevens 1915 "Favorite" Breech Block to Center Fire:
The Left one in the Photo is shown with the New Firing Pin in the furthest 'fired' position.
The Right one in the Photo has the New Firing Pin positioned on the side of the Breech Block in approximately the same relative position.
In addition my gunsmith put two 'beads' of weld on the lower rear 'ears' of the Breech Block to allow hand fitting of the Breech Block so as top wedge tight between the Barrel Breech and the Rear 'shoulders' of the Receiver, reducing the Stress on the Breech Block pivot screw when the Action is fired.
Both ends of the New firing pin need to be fitted to the Action for proper 'extension and contour'.
