209 Primer Adapter for the 20GA SS Shotgun

[@nathanielrhill]

First I must say thank you dave for all that you do, it must absorb alot of your time to make videos and such to spead the "village knowledge" of bushcraft and survival. I am a long time fan and subscriber and I am so pleased to see that the 20 gauge is getting more attention and also wish that you could convince shortlane to make more longer rifled adapters for the 20 gauge. Thx Dave Nate Hill U.S.M.C iraq veteran.

[@1crimm]

Thanks For Your Service Dave

[@popswrench2]

20ga a little more difficult , but i turn the adapter notch bottom turned a little left or right a few degrees ; ejector misses ledge so stays put and still can EASILY pull primer out of my 12ga . GREAT shoosting stuff

[@robertochs123]

Yes!!! I have been requestinf these for a while now and finally they are available! Thanks dave and shortlane.

[@__BERSERKER__]

i noticed in the height of the ammo crisis, 20 gauge was always available. literally every other round and shot was sold out. but, 20 gauge was always, always, on the shelf.

[@DeeOGee-bq3pu]

Too cool. I'm gonna have to give this a try with my old single shot. As always, thanks for the knowledge.

[@danielrivers1975]

WARNING! in the 70's H&R made a single shot muzzleloader with a push in breech plug (my father has one). It is very similar too your adapter, and can be deadly in the case of a hang fire (delay fire). If you open the breach on a hang fire the adapter will fire back at you because it has less resistance than the shot!!! People have died from this!!! Please take care when using your adapter. Love your videos.

[@Chugosh]

Neat idea and broadens the usefulness of an inexpensive firearm.

[@jonny4182]

Hey Dave new sub here. Thank you guys for all the work you guys put into these videos! Quick question, using a black powder set up like this could you ram a replacement slug for reloading shells down the barrel and fire that safely? Just curious since they are reasonably cheap and easy to carry. I apologize if this has already been asked.

[@terryrhuebottom]

I ended up buying one of the 12 gauge adapters and I absolutely love it. Tried it with my own home made gunpowder and it works amazingly. I was so glad to see something like this. Keep Up the good work and I am definitely hoping to travel to take a few of the survival courses that are offered by you guys. Thanks again.

[@Redshift313]

Damn Son... how do spell FUN ??? Answer : 209 Primer Adapter

[@afrohman1]

I hope they make a 16ga soon.

[@ShelsleySpecial]

Considering that was black powder, not as much smoke as I expected out the barrel. Great option for a shotgun, and as said, very versatile

[@rclem87]

Hi Dave, big fan! I bought a H&R single shot and a 209 adapter after having watched the series. My shotgun is a 20 gauge like the one in this video. I am currently shopping for a .60 round ball mold. Preferable the old style scissor molds. Do you have any recommendations and would you consider doing a round ball video?

[@willkriegforkartoffeln4878]

Good! We raise sheep so we have plenty of wool!

[@RedDogBushCraft]

I had a hard time finding 20 gauge in the loads I wanted this year, that may just be my area but for me this is a cool option. Thanks Dave

[@knifeNguns]

Looks like I'll finally have me a 20gauge smoothbore! Thanks for the video.

[@easternbushytail]

Thanks Dave, I was hoping for a primer adapter for the 20 gauge.

[@jeremybeuttel3430]

I'm planning on getting the muzzle loading adapter for my shotgun. I've always wanted to try it.

[@tarasque01]

Dave does it again. Sweet video survive guide master.

[@martinaxe6390]

Oh yeah, I'm buying one of these.

[@archielynn3663]

cool dave

[@acousticguitarpeter]

What a beauty of a gun.

[@jamesteffertiller7813]

Using wool for wadding.....I wonder how dryer lint would work? I'm a cheap S.O.B. lol.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Ok this might sound a bit silly. I have a 12 gauge H&R single shot I like. I use a 20 gauge adapter in it for small game hunting. Would this 20 gauge black powder adapter work in the 20 gauge adapter in a 12 gauge?

[@stansinclair5521]

Cut away on back of adapter should face down extractor will miss in cutaway and not extract adapter

[@Lostamundo]

Another great video. Keep on keepin' on!

[@realworldprepper]

Good and very informative video. Thank you for sharing. I'll be looking into this option.

[@davidw4346]

Great video.

[@huxmetalworks7371]

Hey Dave great job on your videos I enjoy them all can you share more on your homemade powder measures I would like to have one or buy one thanks for sharing

[@axelssonmicke]

Dave, great vid! Im voting for more vids with the longhunter concept! Would it be possible to ship one of those 12ga adapters to Sweden?

[@001tonbushcrafting]

dave ive never had a problem shooting pyrdex out of my percussion 1855 Springfield rifle-musket

[@DavidCanterbury]

Have not tried Large Musket caps, but it can be touch and go with #11's and does not work with Flintlocks at all

[@001tonbushcrafting]

***** yea i learned that the hard way hunting deer with a flintlock when i was kid

[@EatCarbs]

Nice. Thanks for the video

[@denny45acp]

I like what I saw, do you know that 16ga and 28ga are hard to find so one of them would be nice so we could bring back into use some old 16s that are still around

[@eqlzr2]

The older I get, the more I'm in favor of the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principal. I might get one of these adapters for fun, but there are too many futzy little extras for my satisfaction. If I'm making do, I'll make do with something like a .22 with lots of ammo. Simple, convenient, lightweight, effective, and no futzing around. Still, though, I made get one of these for fun. Many thanks.

[@lyleinmb464]

Thanks

[@jonathanpettit2791]

I like the Ramrod you use in this video. Where did you get the brass hardware from?

[@rileyjacques1361]

Good video

[@gunadaptersLLC]

Good video brother !

[@houghtrainable]

During the ammo crunch shotgun ammo was the only thing available. Walmart never ran out of 12, 20 or .410. Slugs, birdshot, buckshot, turkey loads, etc. Why buy this when you can get a lee load all for the same price. Make your ammo ahead of time instead. make and sell an affordable small bore muzzeloader that I can use in place of .22lr and I'll buy that all day long.

[@glockfan112]

Being that the gun is made for modern ammo could you use smokeless powder instead of black powder or pyrodex?

[@dominickcarbonara5494]

very cool

[@2bonosc]

Just got this great set up. Your site (via short lane) had this adapter at my door step in less than a week. Unfortunately, I ordered a 7" 22 adapter from another company in early April ( before I realized short lane has a superior 8" adapter, that I would probably already have if I' d researched more) and as of today's date I have not received it yet and probably won't get it until June. Do your research folks- shortlane's the way to go IMHO. I just got some lead from old wheel weights today Dave. I'd like to get the round ball mold for my 12 gauge , do you think 69 caliber is ideal? I understand the manufacturer does not recommend round ball as you mentioned but 12 gauge is approximately 72 caliber correct? 69 caliber should be a good safety factor I would think. Would you use "Bore Butter", or Tallow with the wool for a lubricant? Thanks, appreciate all you do.

[@chrisdorris6207]

Where did you get that brass box you have your primers in?

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

@David Canterbury, First of all thanks for the video, and I also watched your other video on the 12 gauge. Just 3 ?s. I did buy a muzzle loader many years back and I tried it on muzzle loading hunting and I do not like it and the thing misfires on me is why I quit muzzle load hunting.. So this adapter may be the answer for me. (1). To deer hunt out of this 20 gauge adapter what double load OO buckshot load will you use for deer ? (2).And how far distance will it be affected for deer when using this 20 gauge muzzle loading adapter with double OO buckshot ? (3). Then on the 12 gauge or the 20 gauge adapters, would it be ok to use these adapters in the H&R single shot Rifled Twisted barrel's for the 12 or 20 gauge barrels and use the 12 or 20 gauge slugs for the shot ?

[@mohammedkasim9677]

i was on your site looking to buy the oilcloth tarp tent with tie outs , but like many of the items you feature in your videos i can't seem to find it -- any ideas where i can get the tarp from Bullet Proof Bushcraft on a Budget Cover

[@rbarbour64]

Dave, Have you stoped carring the 12 ga ss Shotgun? In your past few videos, I have not seen you with it.

[@threeoeightwadcutter2820]

Great video. How do you change your ammo when shot is loaded but you need a roundball? Do you eject the primer adapter? how could you safe the black powder that way?

[@__BERSERKER__]

first, great info. hey dave where is your school located? im in ky.

[@DavidCanterbury]

SE Ohio

[@christopherbennett4559]

Where do you get that ramrod? You made it or purchase it somewhere? Thanks again God bless.

[@richardnichols1392]

Sorr y if i missed it but a right sized round ball with ticking for a patch, work ok with the adaptor and bp or other equivalents?

[@libbylewis6]

Love your video I use the 20 gauge I would enjoy shooting black powder out of it I going to have to buy that adapter if it is a much fun as shooting my side lock i know I will love it

[@christopherbennett4559]

I wonder what size round ball would fit the best 580. 600. 610.etc

[@351WINCHESTER]

Would this be good for squirrels & such?

[@eccanc]

The 20 gauge primer adapter, as well as the 12 gauge primer adapter, would this setup as you described, qualify as a muzzleloader (either buckshot, ball or slug) for deer season? Great video.

[@DavidCanterbury]

It is in Ohio as long as you are not carrying shells

[@1anthonybrowning]

Check your state regulations. I think where I live that to qualify as a muzzleloader, for counties with such a season, that the breach must not open.

[@eccanc]

Anthony Browning I live in Arkansas and they do have an early muzzle loader season before the start of modern gun season. I will have to check with them about the closed breach. Thanks for the information.

[@buckeye8069]

Can you use round ball as well with these? and thank you

[@Maddawwg45]

awesome video I noticed that barrel was cut down im thinking about getting one in 12 gauge and having the barrel shortened what whould be max range for a shortened barrel that had a cylinder bore at that point with no choke ?

[@DavidCanterbury]

The barrel is not cut down it is a factory Pardner model barrel

[@00Klingon]

I'd like to see an in depth explanation or demonstration on why a full choke is bad to use with black powder. Do I have to cut it off my H&R to use this adapter?

[@DavidCanterbury]

There is no reason not to use a full choke unless you are shooting round ball or slugs-

[@00Klingon]

***** Awesome news. Thanks!

[@Survial9999]

what size round ball would you use in a 12 ga? .680 or .710"?

[@markbrown7449]

How does this work on the hatfield line 20 gauge ?

[@whatzthis64]

Does any one know the barrel in ky. I got one that's a h$r 12 it's 18 and a 1/8 Barley thanks Brian if not what can I do.

[@ohiocatfishguy2425]

Is that a New England arms 20 gauge?

[@TheWeaponBros]

going to the annaual meet in vinncens indiana tommorow its a cival war reneactment anything i should keep my eye open for

[@__BERSERKER__]

any update on the pathfinder mora knives?

[@DavidCanterbury]

On our site but Mora is a bit proud of them for my liking

[@brandonmitchell3617]

***** what do u mean by that?

[@WilliamTythas]

brandon mitchell Usually that refers to an Item with a higher than expected Price tag

[@WayOfTheWoods]

They look quite nice tbh

[@brandonmitchell3617]

oh got it thanks

[@morris4069]

Dave, In the vids for the 209 adapters you give all the info we need except ,weather or not the primers can be any 209 or if they need to be muzzle loading primers? Watching this vid it looks like you were using ML primers? Does it make any difference? Some, little, or what? Thanks for doing what you do!

[@DavidCanterbury]

Any willwork

[@morris4069]

Thanks guys, I have the adapter for .410 and bought all the stuff to shoot I just wasn't shure about the primers. I figured it wouldn't make much if any difference. Any tips on the .410 adapter in a M6 scout?

[@dahartman88]

Hmm Wonder why no round ball...

[@DavidCanterbury]

MHO to keep folks from stuffing oversized balls down the gun and blowing it up and then blaming the adapter-

[@rylanhamilton8832]

For all the single shot haters. If your'e hunting, you should only need one shot! If you are hunting and you need more than one shot to take one animal you should practice more often because you may wound an animal.

[@chrisdorris6207]

Where did you get that brass box you have your primers in?
