9MM Flobert Rimfire Shotshell

cwo4comm
Have a Stevens Favorite Rifle with barrel marked 9mm .32 Shot(not
short) but SHOT. Smoothbore, no sights and single shot. Rolling block My question is: Will the Fiocchi Flolbert 9MM Rimfire Shotshell be proper ammo?

Do not have a shotshell to compare but know where some maybe available if they are the proper ones. Cost about about a buck each, so do not want to buy until can find out if they are correct.

    Hello cwo4comm,

    We really need pictures of the caliber markings on this firearm.
    Stevens chambered there Favorite No. 20 in the .32 rimfire shot cartridge (now long obsolete). The 9mm portion of the marking is a little confusing. It is possible that it is a Favorite No. 20 rechambered for the 9mm Flobert rimfire.

    And 9mm is .38, not .32

    The 9mm does not look to be machine stamped, you have something about it being bored out for 9mm, but it is factory stamped .32 shot.
    I believe now that it is 9mm flobert shotshell. Thanks for info.
    Gun show coming up next week maybe can find a 9mm flobert rimfire shotshell or will pour the chamber and measure it for sure.
    thank much for info.
    regards

    Just as a FYI, the mouth diameter of a 9mm Shotshell is .325"
    In the photo below is a 8mm Centerfire shotgun shell, a all brass 9mm Flobert shotshell, and a 38spl SWC for scale.

    It looks like the 9mm in photo has a slight shoulder about where metal head ends on a paper shotshell? So if only head measures 9mm, just rechambering of a .32rf would work?

    Change "would" to "should" and I'd say that yes, it most likely should work just fine)
