I know this is a little off subject but has anyone else tried the .22 adapters by shaver or crossno??? I bought a shaver, It's a neat little rig and is a hoot to use

I've had one since they first came out. It works pretty well, but the fellow at the time who was selling them did a little creative advertiseing and Mr. Shaver was absolutely no help at all in straightening it out, or fixing his product.

Knowledge without understanding is a dangerous thing. For a little knowledge entices us to walk its path, a bit more provides the foundation on which we take our stand, and a sufficient amount can erect a wall of knowledge around us, trapping us in our own ignorance.

Knowledge is easy to get, but worthless if you never use it. However the info is free, so the only person you have to blame is yourself if you chose not to use the information.
I have a Shaver for my Pedersoli Sharps, and it is a hoot to shoot. I also made my own reduced size silhouettes. It makes for good off-hand practice.

I have one made and sold by Dave Crossno. Easy to use, and super accurate.

I purchased one from Crossno for my Sharps. I havnt been able to try it yet.
Will I need to remove my tang sight to install it or is there some flex to it?

I didnt have to remove my sight, but I wouldnt want to "flex" it to much, you will be able to tell when you first try to install it.
About the only P I T A with these is setting the head space " at least it is on the shaver"

I've had a Crossno for about a year and a half. I'm really pleased with it. My gun is a Browning 1885 BPCR, and I don't have to remove the tang sight to install the adapter. Other shooters I know generally prefer the Crossno to the Shaver.
If ya'll look carefully at your Crossno set ups ( the one I've used was tack drivin' good)........you'll see that he did something fairly bold........and if it works, why question it?
What he's done there is what allows his set-up to funtion without that "Shell Holder" PITA thing, on the other.
Hint, .....look down the Crossno liner bore.
I'll have to see what YOU think is up with this, ( chuckle)

Crossfireoops,
For that reason I use a pull-through cleaning cable and a short brush.
I have a crosno that I use for back yard practice for long range shoots. One thing that I found was that I do not have to change my sights when I install it. For some reason out to 200 yards they shoot to the same sight settings as for my 45-70 rounds. And it is a real tack driver.
I see this is an old sunbject... But would anyone know if this adapter would work in a Springfield trapdoor?
This is interesting, I never had any luck with a 22 adapter in my AR-15, but it would good for my 45-70 Lever gun.
