Forget the box stores!
Track of the Wolf has them, Log Cabin Shop probably also has them.
Good luck.

I made my own when I was still working. Not hard if you have a lathe, I was a lathe operator. 1/4" or 5/16" brass rod 1" long. Drill a hole for the 8/32, I forget the drill number, all the way through. Dril the hole for the 10/32 halfway through. Use the proper tap for each side, use lots of fluid when tapping although brass is more forgiving than steel. You can decide which side you want to be male and female and use the proper size screw on the male side. I like to use thread locker on the screw. Cut off the screw head and file the burr off the end. Vòila! Done...... I've even used my old wood lathe to make one.

Actually, a lathe isn't necessary to make them yourself a drill press and taps will get the job done.

That's true if you have a way to center the rod under the quill. I've done it using a piece of angle iron.

I have a set of centering jigs that work well for that task. I use them more for making brass range rods than for making adapters.

I bought mine from TOTW

 

[oldramrod]

Having a lathe I make mine using a piece of 3/8 brass round stock and drilling one end 10/32, and the other end 8/32, And putting a 1/2 inch long set screw into each end sticking out about 1/2 the length. This way I can remove which ever screw I want to make the adapter the way I want for the occasion.

I ended having two made by a buddy of mine. I appreciate all the help however!
