Default Lil Skeeters

I am contemplating the purchase of a set of Little Skeeters for one of my 20 Ga. Parkers to reduce it down to a 28 Ga. since I seem to be all out of 28 Ga. Parkers at the time ! Do any of you fellows use these and what are the opinions on the forum of such an apperattus ?

Thanks for the info. Charlie ! I bought some a while back for a 16 Ga. O Framed V Grade but the Chamber was 2 1/2 and I didn't realize it until I tried to use them and of course they wouldn't work so I returned them ! Just wondering if they pattern well !

If I were you Russ I'd just load up some 3/4 oz. 20-ga. (28-ga. equiv.) loads until you find that 28-ga. Repro that you've been talking about.

Thanks for the ideas Fellas but I bought a bunch of 28 Ga. Ammo when I had the D Grade 28 and I like the 28's so I figured until the right gun comes along ,I could use the ammo I bought and still carry a familiar gun ! As they say ,Beware of the Man who uses only one gun !

I have quite a few little skeeters and they are good for patterns if you stay close in guage. Don't think that you can shoot clays or skeet easily because they do not always remove from the adaptor easily. Some casings are easier then others to remove, some can be quite challenging. I do enjoy having them and shoot them occasionally. Dave
