Those are cool adapters but i've read a couple of articles doubting accuracy over LONG distances because they arent really traveling down a barrel just through the shotguns tube.having said that i am ordering @ least one of them

Here is a Wikipedia article about chamber adapters, also known as "chamber inserts", "caliber conversion tubes", "chamber conversion sleeves", "caliber conversion adapters", "subgauge inserts", "subgauge tubes", "gauge reducers", etc. etc. etc.:

They've been around a long time. If you look in the right places you can find them for under $20. That X Caliber system is pretty pricey.

True on buying ammo with cash. Personally I'm shooting (lol) to have 2500 rounds for my main gun, 1000 rounds for my secondary, 1000 rounds for my pistol, 1000 extra shotgun shells and 10,000 .22lr rounds. It seems a bit high, and it is, but keep in mind I'm talking end of governments

I actually think 1000 would be the minimum. Remember, you're going to need to shoot to maintain your skills too.
Conversely, 10,000 on the .22 may be a little high (maybe 5000?). May want to check your local laws just to be sure you aren't tripping over some obscure code.

The reason for the 1000 pistol rounds, shotgun sheels and secondary firearms is because I want to us the .22 for target and to trade. My main gun will most likely be a 12 gauge (dispite the fact that "tactical" rifle makes more sence the guns I can get my hands on make it a bit harder to make a rifle my main gun)

I feel you can never have too much ammo, just look at the ammo shelfs in any store today and what do you see, they are empty, and while they may fill back up soon the prices will never be as low as they were before the ammo buying madness of the fast few months, so if for no other reason to have 5000 rounds of .22lr or #4 12ga or whatever it will only cost more if you need to resupply in the future, and who's to say that you will still be able to buy ammo at all, there are some elected officals out there that are doing everything in their power to take that right away from you as we speak, so buy as much as you can as often as you can. Just say'n....

I agree completely. There is no such thing as to much. The one thing that I do is I buy different manufacturers for the calibers that I need.... so I have an idea of which ones are better then the others..... ive noticed with my 1911 that when I used hollow points, that the first round in the chamber would jam. but when I used regulars they wouldn't jam. Best thing I have for advice is buy different brands and see which ones work the best for you and your gun. Another case in point is I bought some rounds for 22 and one brand didn't work worth a crude in it but a different brand worked very nicely. No jams, no faulty rounds.... Also I still stock up every chance I have to get more ammo as much as possible. Great post WILD MAN

I walked in to Walmart the other day to get my doe tag (which for the first time I didn't get there in time for one) and glanced at the ammo locker, all that was in there? A lonely box of .380 ammo, that's it. I can still remember going not Walmart on the way to camp and buying 1000 rounds of .22lr ammo to put through the pea shooter just messing around.

I don't really stockpile ammo although I might start, but I do have about 100 rounds of .06 and 30.30 ammo laying around and a bunch of various 12 gauge shells.

that reminds me of about a week ago. I called 5 different places for 22LR and not a single place had a box for sale. And the places I called were not just little places, they were places that most everyone in the U.S. would be familiar with. Walmart, Cabela's Scheels, Shiptons Big R, and a different location for Walmart. Had to go to a pawn shop to get a couple hundred rounds. Made me start thinking a bit harder of what I do sense the day before that there were a few rounds for 22LR. Should of bought them the day before when there were a lot of them.

Realistically how much ammo should I have on hand for rifle calibers ? Handgun calibers? And shotguns? Thank you in advance .

I read yesterday on Twitter (via prepperzone.net) that Obama is using the Naval yard shooting tragedy as a means to impose executive orders in order to push through his gun control measures. Therefore, it's porbably best to stock up on as much ammo as you can right now IMHO.

This gun control thing is getting out of hand

Yes it is.

Apparently the politicos don't understand what "shall not be infringed" means or they just don't give a damn.

edFor politicians to give you RIGHTS they must have at some point first taken them away, if they did it before then sure as hell will probably do it again like they frequently do in the UK, they will cite " Common good" or Fighting Terrorism or fighting crime, but something my much cherish and greatly admired American friends often forget the most important of all the words of wisdom spoken by theirs leaders of old. THOSE WHO HAVE THE WEAPONS MAKE THE RULES and like it or not Senate and Congress like Parliament over here have a bigger stick than us.

Go Grey Man, buy your guns from gun fairs not gun shops, pay cash, reload your own ammo, get rid of the credit cards, don't use loyalty cards, do anything you can to get off their radar.
