Hello
I stumbled across a couple of savage fourten inserts for a twenty gauge. They insert into a single or double barrel shotgun so you can shoot 410 shells. They are in the original boxes and appear to be in very good shape. And like i said they are made to fit a twenty gauge. Does anyone know what they are worth? By the design of the boxes they appear to be oldies. If you had a twenty double and wanted to shoot 410 these might be neat to use. One old guy told me he would use the four ten inserts in the old damasus double shotguns,which I had not thought of. Anyway thankyou beltfed

  I have not seen a NIB set of Savage fourtenners around in years, like yours they tend to be used. Back in the old days Savage marketed a line of these small shell converters for shotguns in 12, 16, and 20 gauge down to .410. According to an old Savage ad I came across (see...never throw that old junk away!) the adaptor used a "proof tested, breech section of alloy steel. The extension is of aluminum alloy. Chambered for 2-1/2" or 3" .410 shells. Adaptable to any break action, single, double or over-under shotgun. Positive type extractor or ejector. Band type extractor spring with built-in stop for extractor travel. Special "O" ring at the muzzel insures centering and prevents marring of the bore". The list price in 1969 was $9.95. There are currently available shotgun gauge reducing adaptors on the market made of alloy for around $40-50.
