Anyone have experience with Chazel gauge adapters? They make a 12-to-28 for $120 each that would allow me to shoot up a bunch of recently acquired 3” 28 gauge shells. I bought the shells for my new 3” Beretta A400 Upland, and the gun won’t cycle anything reliably. It’s going back to Beretta, but I think I’m done with it because it’s the worst gun I’ve ever owned. It’s already been to the local A400 wizard and he can’t make it run. Dealer offered me a refund, so? I’d rather have Chambermates or Gaugemates, but they are hard to find. Briley Sidekicks are too expensive, and Browning Little Skeeters are a pain to use. I have several 28 gauge doubles, but they are all 2-3/4”, so thinking about just opening chambers or lengthening forcing cones in one of them, if feasible. Thanks.

Ammo is hard to find. Just list and sell the shells. Even selling at a reduced price will be offset by not spending money on adapters.
I looked up the Chazel and realized that I had looked at them once and that their business is primarily rifle round adapters. Unless I am missing something these have no extractors, just like a Little Skeeter. While they stay in the barrel, they would be a royal pain to use. At over $250 delivered and tax for a pair, you would have to have an enormous amount of ammo to come out on painfully using it up over just selling it and forgetting the whole thing. They are also out of stock with no estimate of availability.

“My K32 Krieghoff has 3" chambers”
That’s lovely, but I don’t want to hunt ducks with a Krieghoff.
Ammo is scarce, and selling it in Kalifornia would still be a major pain. Why? Because even private party ammo sales have to go thru an FFL with fees, inspections, and background checks. Technically and legally, I can’t even give it away unless it goes thru an FFL. Have I mentioned lately that our state government is completely nuts? Getting this ammo in the first place required jumping thru a lot of hoops, so I’d rather find a way actually use it.
