Navy Sleeve

I'm developing a project and need some information regarding experience shooting a rifle fitted with a Navy Sleeve. I realize some jokers with no idea what a Navy Sleeve is will want to jump on this (perhaps also some who do)...

Anyway, accuracy: good, bad, so-so?

If you are referring to the chamber adaptor for the M1 Garand to shoot 7.62x51, IIRC, they caused sufficient problems that the Navy quit using them and rebarreled their rifles to 7.62 NATO.

Concept

Ok,

Here is the deal: I was thinking of a rifle capable of shooting both 7.62 NATO and 7.62X54 R using sleeves. I have checked a couple of actions (Rem and Mauser) for feeding the rimmed cartridge and they seem to work fine. In addition to the two separate bolts guess I will need to use two barrels.

You ask why, I say because...

Probably would have any way, as head space would be difficult for two bolts on one barrel. Especiallysince one head spaces off the shoulders and the other off the rim.
