Two rifles. More is always better. I would recommend staying away from the chamber adapters. The Navy sleeve had a reputation for problems (interesting because I remember seeing some for sale a few years ago; Numrich or Sarco IIRC). Any competent gunsmith can build you a switch barrel rifle. Buying/installing two average quality barrels will be cheaper than the machine work to build/fit chamber adapters. NTM - if you go the Mauser route a second bolt for the rimmed cartridge is relatively inexpensive. Course that's MOO, YMMV.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
