What's funny is several companies sold chambers to shoot rifle and pistol cartridges out of shotguns.

Current SAAMI spec for 44mag is 36,000 psi. While the chamber insert probably holds the wall pressure, the pressure against the breech face and firing pin hole would seem to be unaffected, so the little gun is eating way more than our 7000 psi vintage shotgun shells, or even the 11000 psi SAAMI spec. Were the old chamber inserts designed for lower pressure black powder rifle cartridges?

Remington Arms Co. offered these for a number of years --

High pressure gas flows backward and around the insert, into the firing pin hole and lock recess, then blows out a chunk of 100-year-old black walnut. Oops. |

I'm not saying I'd use one, but I believe Marbles sold them into the 50's or even after.

All of my Marbles inserts are "rifle to rifle" made for guns with small firing pin holes.
