Any thoughts or experience with 209 adapter for break barrels?
Was looking at the Short Lane 209 adapter.  Would like to give muzzleloading shotguns a try and thought maybe this would be a way.  I have a hr 20 gauge sitting around doing nothing.
Thanks

Btw I'm a new guy.  Nice to be aboard !

I looked into them before. The problem is no way to get a shot cup down the tube in a tapered barrel. I know some ML hunters go old school and use lead shot on a wad right against the bore and a wad on top. I watched a video using one of those adapters on a full choke gun and they ended up stuffing news paper down the barrel for wads. It can work but will never work like a regular muzzleloader shotgun.

Copy that.  I think at this point I'm better off saving up and buying/building what I want.
