sub gauge shootgun inserts

I'd like to buy a cheap old .12 gauge double damascus barrel shotgun and use inserts to fire .410 gauge shells. I just like the looks of the old double shotguns but am hesitant to shoot them. Also my physical well being at the moment precludes shooting my .12 gauge semi-auto. I've only found one place to order an insert and they seem expensive. Does anyone have any shopping information? Also, if you have used this approach, I'd like to hear any suggestions. Thanks

Look at specs, as some work with the guns ejectors/extractors to eject just the shell, but may not with an old s/s shotgun. Briley and Kolar make partial and full length tubes also, but much more expensive. Try also Cabellas website, as they used to offer a couple varieties.

Short Lane Arms. www.gunadapters.com they have all kinds of variations for all gauge shotguns. I use them and they work great !
I looked at the site and the cost is certainly reasonable. I would be using a 12 gauge double barrel to fire 410 rounds. After firing are the inserts pulled out by the extractors with the hulls still in them or do the inserts stay in the chamber? Thanks
