Default The Elterich....

....'Rifled Bullet Shell' allows the 12 gauge shotgun to safely shoot 32 S&W cartridges. Information is sketchy, at best, but I am looking! I wonder if Drew Hause has anything in his archives

Apparently marketed by Stevens in 1902.
http://www.la84foundation.org/Sports.../SL3826012.pdf

J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company.
The firearms made by the J. Stevens Arms and Tool Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass., has a wide reputation. A full line of rifles and pistols were exhibited, as well as the Stevens single barrel shotgun. One of the novelties was the rifled bullet shell for shotguns. This was shaped like brass shell with a short rifle, or rather pistol barrel extension. The shell fitted into the chamber of a shotgun, and for emergency would convert a shotgun into a rifle without any more effort than inserting an ordinary shell. This rifled bullet shell was made in 10, 12 and 10 gauge, can be used in single or double guns, and are made in different calibres.

I've got a 10 gauge one, they're a fun item for certain. Yours is the first I've ever seen that still has the pulling rod. Nice!

Thanks, Destry. I watched it on a collector website for eons at $250.00. One day it appeared at $125.00, so I grabbed it!

Yeah, at $125 that's not a bad price. At the $250 I'd have passed as well. Now that I know what the puller looks like maybe I'll fine one in somebody's junk box at a gun show!

Was searching the internet for information about these and found this site. I found one for sale. Mine differs from the one pictures here in that the one that I have has an 1 3/8" barrel out the front of the brass chamber insert. Don't think these are very common. This one was sitting in a box of loose ammo on a gun shops counter for about 10 years. Owner want $50.00 for it. Yesterday I looked at it and offered $20.00 for it, he countered at $25.00 and I said "no it has been here for 10 years", he relented and I got it for my price.
