Nice. Still the guys wouldn't see that too often. I'd probably make a sub cal cartridge that took a .50 basic brass cartridge and cast big 500 gr bullets for it...chamber ream would cost you but I think it would be worth it.

Being a engineer & RFD I made up a replica of the .55" *** .22" CONVEYOR using an old Martini International barrel which was fun for a while.
Not sure why the asterix blocked out the name of the conveyor, probably looks like a rude word

Slightly off center bore I should think? That way the firing pin locates it? I'd make up a steel cartridge...several if feasible, and then get sweating... Still it sounds like quite a job to make a full size cartridge with a small lathe, no CNC machines on hand.

Have a look at my pals website, it shows the adaptor which uses a firing plug so no issue with being off centre for the rim fire,

Hopefully going to take it to Kynoch range to give it a test with some .55 practise ammo a RFD friend of mine acquired

According to the pre war Inf Trg pamphlets, they could be fired on suitable 25m ranges!

Yes, That's the original. Nice catch. I have seen one of those around here too.
I guess one could also make an adaptor for .500 S&W ammo. That would give you a cartridge that's almost unmanageable in a revolver but would shoot like rimfire in this gun...

I never even considered that, sounds like a project for when I get a bit of free time, need to get the CIP standard and a chamber reamer ground up.......
