Looks like a chamber adapter...to shoot.22s out of something close in caliber?

Some kind of sub caliber insert?????
Try sticking a .22lr in it.

why do people take a photo of an object they want identified and use a backdrop that makes it hard to even see the object. try using a white paper as a backdrop.

Something in the picture for scale?

If it were for a .22 LR, wouldn't it need to be offset somehow for the rimfire?

Without a size, hard to say, but possibly an adapter to shoot .32 pistol rounds in .30-30?

[sav300]

machined out to take a shotgun primer for low velocity and noise

[Land Owner]

Hard to imagine a cartridge insert, to shoot sub-caliber (through a rifle), that will not allow the projectile to take advantage of the rifling (for stability), and might subject the projectile to side-to-side wobbling down the barrel - as an empty ash can down a breezy NYC alleyway (resulting in unstable flight and keyholing). Cartridge conversion should include a barrel as well.

I have one. Its made of steel and used to fire 22 LR out of the 222 contender barrel. Primer offset is not a problem since you can flip the firing pin from centerfire to rimfire.

Chamber inserts have been made for all kinds of calibers. I recently got one,, unmarked,, that allows a .410 shell (2-3/4") to fit in a 12 Ga.
I too go with a chamber insert.

[bedbugbilly]

Hard to tell without measurements and a scale but it looks a lot like the slide in converter insert I have that converts a 30-30 to 32 S & W Long- possibly a converter for another caliber rifle

[rbuck351]

Without something to gauge the size, it's hard to tell but it looks like either a sub caliber chamber insert or a case that has been converted to use shotgun primers. 222rem with a shotgun primer and a pellet or possibly a nail set charge and a cast boolit. Really hard to say without some dimensions. Is it brass or steel?

[brass410]

looks like cartridge adaptor Perhaps 32 acp or 32smith to fit 06 or 308 pistol rounds for foraging with heavy rifle. demensions would be good I have a couple to fit 06 they work ok to about 30 yards

It's in bad shape, whatever it is.

Never seen one of those but why would you have more 32acp hanging around than 308?

[NoZombies]

These were adapters used in M3,M4 and M5 versions of the Williams .22 training conversions for .30 belt fed machineguns.

More info on the conversions and these adapters can be found about half-way down this page: http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/Williams4.html

Because the great majority of gun owners have not joined the enlightened minority of handloaders who understand that such tomfoolery is unnecessary,,,,,,

My brother-in law had an adaptor for his 308 that used 32 pistol cartridges. He used it to shoot grouse and rabbits when he wanted quick meat for supper. Worked OK for his purposes.

So you can take small game and still have enough left to eat when you are hunting big game is what it was originally marketed for.

Watch it, you young pup! There is only one way to avoid getting old!:twisted:

Like Blackthorn says and Because you don't need a 308 or 30-06 to shoot a grouse , rabbit or squirrel ... if you did you wouldn't have much left to eat ...hence the adaptors . Not everyone reloads .

Because of it's long neck, it looks more like a 222rem or 30 rem. It would make it much easier to say if we had some dimensions and of what it's made (steel or brass).

[Screwbolts]

I believe, NoZombies gave the correct and factual answer in post #18 including the link to the items actual usage!
