I saw one once to turn your 12 gage into a 410. But I think you had to hand feed the 410.

Pistol calibre and twenty two long rifle don't appear to have any issues.
The advantage is that you can pick up most pistol calibre ammunition and use it, if you have the adapter.
Also, if the planet has non standard ammunition, you could pick up an adapter for that in the local gun shop.
High velocity bullets, I don't know, and if the adapter length would extend further.

Out of a shotgun? What kind of adapters are these? Chambers with a 4" rifled barrel that slips in the back to make a single shot ..uh.. rifle? (So, effectively a pistol with that short barrel.
Seems better off getting one of those combo guns. 12 gauge with a 22lr barrel. Or a rifled 410 that can also shoot 45 Long Colt.

I'd say it's circumstantial.
If you're only allowed a shotgun, this gives you options as to ammunition/effect.
This generally veers into survivalist territory, so what you have is the Swiss Army Knife of guns.

Still qualifies as rifle.
Originally, these were designed for downed pilots; I think the German version had triple barrels.
In wartime, I doubt the local legalities of firearm regulations matter for the stranded serviceman, so I'd opt for an advanced combat rifle.
If you have to condense it, I'd prefer to replace the twenty two long rifle with aforementioned mechanism and intermediate rifle ammunition, that has a default range of four and a half hundred metres.

And I believe the original one was a 410 shotgun and .22 long not a 12 gage.
And for the record, I never said it was not a rifle. It is called a Survival Rifle after all.

If you're thinking of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M30_Luftwaffe_Drilling, that's quite a weapon, and much beefier than .22LR.

The TP-82 (Russian: ТП-82) is an out-of-service triple-barreled Soviet combination gun carried by cosmonauts on space missions. It was intended as a survival aid to be used after landings and before recovery in the Siberian wilderness.
Features
The TP-82 can be used for hunting, to defend against predators, and for creating visible and/or audible distress signals. The detachable buttstock also functions as a machete and is equipped with a canvas sheath.
The upper two side-by-side shotgun barrels use special 12.5×70mm ammunition (40 gauge), and the lower single rifled barrel uses 5.45×39mm ammunition developed for the AK-74 assault rifle. The TP-82 has a large lever on the left side of the receiver that opens the action, and a small grip safety under the trigger guard that resembles a secondary trigger.[citation needed] According to NASA astronauts, the gun is very accurate out to about 20–30 m (22–33 yd).[1]
History
The TP-82 was the result of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov's concerns after being stranded in the Siberian wilderness when his Voskhod capsule malfunctioned. He feared that the 9x18mm Makarov pistol that was provided in his survival kit would be ineffective against the Siberian wildlife, such as Eurasian brown bears and Eurasian wolves.[2]
TP-82s were carried regularly on Soviet and Russian space missions from 1986 to 2006.[3] They were part of the Soyuz Portable Emergency Survival Kit (Носимый аварийный запас, Nosimyi Avariynyi Zapas, NAZ).
In 2007, the media reported that the remaining ammunition for the TP-82 had become unusable and that a regular semi-automatic pistol would be used on future missions.[4]
