[QUOTE="epoletna, post: 1733111, member: 87371"] It looks very similar to an adaptor that was used to fire .22 rim fire cartridges in a larger chamber. A Friend had a .30 caliber machine gun that used this type of insert to fire .22 rim fire cartridges in a belt-fed machine gun. I saw it fire about 50 years ago, and it functioned well, but I no longer remember the details. I do remember putting rimfire cartridges in the inserts and putting them into the belt, then firing it fully automatic. I think it might have had a .22 caliber barrel installed, as firing a .22 through a .30 caliber barrel would have been of little value and my recollection is that the machine gun was moderately accurate.
