Shooting 12 Gauge 32 ACP Barrel Chamber Insert

Wanted to show how the little 32acp performs out of the 12 gauge barrel insert with its 18” barrel. These are reloads using a 30 cal. 90gr hollow point. Loaded to a low velocity, approximately 900fps. No hearing protection needed out of the 34” 12ga goose gun. Fun to shoot, but still packs a punch. Used successfully on possums and raccoons. My shots on these pests were anywhere from 10 to about...

.308 pills in a 32 acp case! So now you got me thinking.. hmmmm? I have an older Harrington and Richardson Model 258 Handy-Gun II, with a 30-30 barrel and a 20 ga barrel. I wonder then if I could find? or have made? a chamber insert that would allow me to run 32acp or 32S&W/,in my 30-30 barrel? yes? no? maybe? suggestions?
@@isserfiq I know that 30-30 32 ACP Chamber inserts have been made. Chazel doesn’t make one, but they do encourage customers to ask or request caliber combinations they might be interested in putting into production. You can readily find inserts for the 32 ACP in .308, .303 British, and 30/06. I have asked MCA SPORTS, Donna Dube, if they make the insert for 30-30. If you have a Facebook account you can access their Facebook page. I do not have a Facebook account. You won’t find them anywhere else on the internet anymore. UA-cam will not allow me to give contact information, otherwise I would be happy to give it to you. If or when I hear from Donna, I will reply to your original comment/question here. Also, these inserts pop up on eBay off and on, so checking there periodically might get one for you. Thank you for your question.
@@diggingoonschmit Thanks for the information. I did some digging around and indeed it appears that there were 30-30 to 32 short inserts made by Winchester at one point way back. And I see mention of them available for 308 and the Russian 7.62 variants. Poked around Ebay and saw none right now but will keep checking. I'll try to find the contact info for MCA. Did find some of the Chaszel adapters on line but none for 30-30 to 32. Did spot a 410 to 38spl that I may spring for for my Hercules model10/Stevens 94. Thanks again for your help.
@ You are very welcome.
@@isserfiq Just heard from Donna at MCA. They have 30-30 inserts for 32 ACP, 32 SW, and 32 SW Long. All cost $25 postage paid. They are still located in Anchorage, Alaska. You may be able to source their address by looking under Anchorage businesses, MCA sports. Good luck!
I guess I can give you my email address. Email me and I can give you MCA Sports contact info and address. My email is opie93446@yahoo.com I have seen other channels give their email address in the description box. Hopefully I don’t get a strike for this.
I would like to see a .327 mag. insert.
@@sirjhonson8218 That would be interesting. Especially to make hand loads. Thank you for your comment. Appreciate it.
@@diggingoonschmit I know you can get a hand cutting tool for cutting the barrel case length. I just don`t know if they sell one for the .327 Rem. Mag. That would be a good bigger varmint round. Coyotes, Wolfs, s, and medium sized hogs.
Chaszel makes that
I bought a heavy barrel blank in 4140 from shaw barrels and ground my own with a lathe and grinder setup. Mine is for 458 Lott in a CZ 584 that's a break action with 30-06 on bottom and 12 gauge on top. So now I can hunt with 30-06,12 gauge, and 458 Lott in one gun. The 584 is special in that the same action was used to build over and under 458 Winchester magnum double rifle's. I've shot some hand loads with a 500 grain bullet at 2400 fps and let me tell you it is absolutely painful 😖.
@@Hunt_or_Die Nice set up. Talk about a real game getter! Your comment is appreciated.
This seems to be a long-term hack. Most adapter users, I assume, like to switch out calibers in the field.
@@jonboyfutch8081 Correct. I find the setup for quiet, but hard hitting pest control more needed than long range goose hunting. Thank you for your comment!

@@albertmedalla3941 Yes! Thank you for your question.
Polish the chamber A LITTLE, and use lower pressure chamberings like 32 Long, use a reamer to change yours, using a 32 ACP is silly, then the round will fall out.

@@robdavidson4945 First , thank you for subscribing and the welcome to wonderful Idaho. So, I am not allowed to post contact information here on UA-cam. But, Of you go to Google search engine and put in “MCA Sports Adapters Contact Information” it is there. Ace Dube is the owner and Donna Dube is who answers any inquires. I did find a couple search pages containing their address in Alaska and phone number. Unfortunately that is the best I can do here. But you should be able to find a way to contact them. Good luck with that. Again, thanks for subscribing to my small channel. I really appreciate it.
So are they still in business despite having given up their website?
@ Yes, they were catching up on orders and had stopped taking new orders. Donna Dube, told me in an email that they started taking orders again in October. Do a google search for MCA Sports and search the different pages. Eventually you will find a contact number/email address. UA-cam rules won’t let me give it here in comments. Sorry!
@ Thanks for confirming. Glad they’re still active.

Did you epoxy that rail on top or tape holes? H&R Topper 162 Buck has holes tapped for a Lyman peep sight from factory. 6-48 screws holes about .100" deep.
@@raylaux8295 I wanted the extra thickness of metal in order to use 8-40 screws for the scope mount and get enough depth for the screw. So I silver brazed on a 1/8” steel sheet I radius formed to fit over the chamber area. It worked great. I did not believe the original thickness of the outside of the chamber to be sufficient/marginal, at best, to secure a base with a decent size/magnification of scope. Thank you for your comment and question. It is much appreciated.
Nice job! 32 ACP makes it into a great little, small game rifle. I like the reload you made.
@@frankbrowning328 It does hit hard, even with a light load. Thank you for your comment, it is much appreciated.
I hope to see more of this one in the future. I've owned several and still own a few 32's. They're a lot of fun in a pistol and I've always wanted 1 in a rifle. This is a relatively easy way to accomplish that
@ Thanks. Don’t know if you remember, or are old enough to remember, there was an AR patterned rifle sold through the gun magazines of the 1980’s called the AP 74 and the AP 71. I believe it was the AP 74 that was chambered in .32 ACP. They were selling for under $100. I don’t know why I never ordered one. Been looking whenever I go to a gun store or show. I’ve found parts, but that’s it. It would be great if someone was to revive these. Thanks for commenting.
@@diggingoonschmitYes, I always wanted 1. I had an opportunity to buy an AP74 in 32 ACP in 1984 but I didn't have the money right then so someone else got it. About 5 years ago I saw 1 at a gun show in pretty poor condition for a ton of money and I passed on it. They were pretty good guns but not worth huge money.
@ If we only knew then what we know now.
Well, thank you OP! TIL the H&R Topper 158 was sort of the precursor to the later Handi-Rifles. I happen to have a Topper 158 so it'll be interesting to find what calibers that action/frame is capable of handling. I do know when it comes to using these adapters there is an issue with the action/frame and its firing pin. Most seem to be able to handle NON magnum pistol cartridges but not all can withstand Magnums or high power rifle cartridges. In those that can't, the firing pin usually punctures the primer, then the blast from the primer hole damages the firing pin and sometimes even ejects it backwards out of the frame, often hitting the shooter. There are videos on YT of ppl who've experienced that problem.
@@dkeith45 yes, you are correct. I would stay away from the magnums and stick to cartridges of lower pressures. The purpose of my set up was to have something similar to the old European Rook Rifle concept. Something that hits fairly hard, a larger bullet, but little to no recoil, and very quiet. Reloading gives you even more options. Next possible project might be a 30 Carbine insert in order to load heavier slugs of 150 or 180 grains. Thank you for your comment!
Up to 40k psi has been factory installed on early 158 Topper shotgun frames. So a 44 mag or Ruger level 45 Colt are good.
@@johnmills837 Looking back at some literature of the time, I see there is listed a 158 Topper (possibly the handi-rifle precursor) and a 158 Topper Shotgun. Can't say if both actions/frames were the same? But the caliber for the 158 rifle seems to have topped out at 30-30.
@@johnmills837 The combo Topper 158 had 20ga, 30/30 .410, and .22 Hornet. Later Topper 159 (pre SB) into the 70's had 44 Mag, .357 Mag, .45/70 were also available from H&R until they went out of business in 1986. H&R 1871 started up in 1991 with the SB-1 & SB-2 receivers. SB-2 was for high pressure rifle made from cast treated steel not iron.
@@dkeith45 Topper Shikira 1975-1983 was chambered in .45/70
Looks good , I had to do the same to one of my weapons, easy fix, great video!

Do you have a link or source for MCA?
I believe they are on Facebook under MCA SPORTS CHAMBER ADAPTORS. I am not on Facebook, but googling the name should give you contacts. I have their email but I am not allowed to give it here, per UA-cam rules. Sorry. They are not the big player in chamber adapters anymore, but I think their quality is the best. You will be happy with their product and service. Thanks for inquiring!
If Your In The U.S You Can Get A Huge Selection Of Adapters From A Company Called- Chazel
@ They do not have the number of caliber options that MCA Sports offers. Since I like to modify these for an extractor/ejector, for me, I would not want the bevel on the chamber face they put in for prying out your cartridge after firing. But, they are trying to expand their lineup and their products look good. Thank you for your comment!

It's useless to shoot small cal in a shotgun. Buckshot will do 10X more damage at the same distace. You need a Serious cartridge. Back in the 1970's a buddy gave me a old 30-30 bolt action, with the bolt missing. Had my Gunsmith unscrew the barrel and lathe it down to fit the chamber of my 12 Ga Browning Superposed. One of the last Deer(Nice 10 pointer) was shot with that 30-30 at about 125 yds. Pipsqueak cartridges are a novelty for fun. To get full advantage you need a 2 barrel gun.
@@WillyK51 The purpose for this system is to have the option of a fairly heavy bullet at a subsonic speed, very quiet, for shooting in noise sensitive areas for short range pest control or plunking fun. 30-30 would be out of the question in such a scenario. This is mostly for fun, but also has a niche. Thank you for your comment!
@@WillyK51 For more context, see my prior videos about 12 ga barrel inserts.
@@diggingoonschmit He, He, For Pest up to 400lbs at 50 yds my old Rem 550 22Lr has served very well(Today it's very quiet) Shoots Short and LR. I do ownd a Walter PPK in 32 ACP as well as a S&W M36 and else. If I'd buy an insert it would be 357 Mag. If sighted in well. good to 100yds and beyond for big game. Again, to get the best of both a O/U in 12 or 20 Ga, Shot for up to 40 yds, and a bullet for 100 yds. That's what I pack when stalking thight brush. If something snorts at 15 Yds or over my Shoulder, Buckshot, If I sneak up to something in a clearing or out of shotgun range the 30-30 takes over
The more I see about 22lr’s out of a rifle , the more I’m impressed. Between your Winchester load and what we’ve seen with the stinger I am really liking the good ol’ 22lr.

It's hard to explain how to do it but inside those guns is pretty complex the cocking mechanism is like a long rack gear you can take them apart and turn the gear that meshes with the rack with the rack out of it and put it back in there where it's partly turned before you cock it then you get more spring tension I wouldn't do it unless you can afford to break it because like I said they're pretty complex and you might not be able to get it back together right
Wait, did you say FREE state of Idaho? What do you mean by that? We are all free states. Some obviously more free than others. I certainly wouldn’t consider Idaho a free state compared to many other states where all citizens enjoy equal rights. Idaho just passed one of the most draconian laws relating to women’s rights.

I have a new "salt weapon" that has a push button safety. When you take the safety off it stays off. I like the extended choke tube and need to see if I have some tubing that will fit over the 1/2" I have to work with after I put a Bug Beam on it. I want to leave the laser on it, but now I'm thinking, if I can find a piece of tubing that fits snugly over that, and another piece that fits tightly inside that piece of tubing I might be able to tighten up the pattern a little bit better.
