I had a machinist make up a bunch of these years ago ( for 12ga ) Had to put a retaining screw so they couldn't be remove easily, to be legal for muzzle loader season. |

Curious as to why "shot only, no slugs" ?? |

My understanding is that the adapter doesn't fill up the chamber area completely. If a slug is rammed down on top of the powder there is too much chamber area that would allow powder blow by, possibly leaving a stuck slug or ball in the barrel.
Others have stated that they have shot slugs and Round Balls through a shotgun with adapters. They do so at their own risk. The adapters were designed for shooting shot. |

I wonder how some of their other adapters do. Shooting a 45 ACP from a 5" barrel inside a 26" + barrel seems like a bad idea but maybe it doesn't cause any issues. |

I had a NEF Huntsman, 12 Ga muzzleloader, single shot. Same breach plug design, with a #11 nipple. Lasted only a few years, if that, before going off the market. Legend says someone touched one off without the breech locked up. Quite a headache,....
One of my friends that collects Neff / H&R guns has it. They did come out with another, late in the game, with a screw in breech plug, that used "disk" to hold the primer. The disk was supposed to speed up reloading, by carrying a few with 209 primers in place, in the pocket. |
