It will work.
It won't be particularly safe.
>>29363245
Its illegal and probably a honeypot since companies don't make this particular adaptor
Don't kill yourself

Illegal to use with a live shell, not illegal to own
>what are 12ga flares
>>29363245
The marine flare inserts are not designed for shotshell pressures. Inserts for normal cartridges do exist, but not in 12 ga due to that being over 0.50in and being a destructive device if rifled (they are not exempted currently) and being a NFA item if smoothbore. The flare inserts are lettered by the ATF on the premise of being a signalling device, same as the flare pistols sold in stores.
The largest lettered insert for cartridges is 45LC/410 and is rifled. They are from Runway, others may still make them. Sight adapters are available, but accuracy is poor regardless. Also, the rifled inserts cause the shot pattern to spread very quickly if using a shotshell.
Also, possessing the flare gun and the insert is constructive possession and constitutes a firearm, whether or not it is together. Assembled, they are an Any Other Weapon.
There are certain situations where these make sense, usually when in a National Park or boating, where a flare gun is normal but firearms are restricted. Beyond that, they sort of suck.
Pic is mine.

I have a 12ga to .22lr rifled adapter from Numrich if anyone wants to buy it for $15. Took a grinder to the end so it would fit in my Olin flare gun. Worked fine until I accidentally busted the flare gun itself while trying to get the adapter out to clean it.

Pay your DD tax,and hammer a piece of black steel pipe into the barrel. But if you're going to go that route,just get a real sbs.
Buy the .410 insert,and have fun.

Why bother getting a tax stamp if your only gonna cut it that short.

Daily reminder that pinefire gats are NOT considered firearms and therefore on can have as much short barrel 12ga fun as the like
Further though if one were to make a legal length 26.5mm and the adapt down to 12ga then that would bee fine right ? provided one could legally own a 18" 26" shot gat
What if the adaper was 19" (to avoid fuckery) could that be legit ?

0/10. It doesn't matter how short you cut it,once you're below barrel length/overall length, it's still an sbs.

Holy shit,that's awesome. I put this image together a couple years ago,to see what that idea could look like. I was thinking about buying an unturned barrel in .357 or .44,and making a single shot rifle that could break down and go in my backpack.
What is the make/model of that?
>>29363245
The 12g are made with 12g flares in mind, not shells. You could get an insert in 410 if you want a shotgun pistol though.
That is a good price on that flare gun though, I'd grab one before they are sold out if I didn't already own one.
>>29367331
Dude it's not that hard . Also did you read my post the model is right there in the reddit link , you can't buy it , cause russia
But just get a 26.5 flare launcher then 12ga adapter then subcaliber for say 9mm or whatever and bam done. Figure out the stock part yourself not that hard

I did read your post,I just tend to skim over reddit links. Sorry.
I've seen others post pics of the shotgun adapters. This is one of their pics. I'll probably end up doing that,because I love the idea of 1 pistol,10 calibers.
