Need a plug for your "security" style (long magazine tube) shotgun?
These plugs will work in a multitude of guns: Mossbergs/Mavericks, and many others.
The vast majority of Mossberg 500 (Maverick 88), 590 and 835 guns have 5 round magazine tubes: if you need a 3 round plug for one of those click here.
However, there are "security" style or "tactical" guns out there with longer magazine tubes (7 or 8 round). These plugs are made to work in them, so that they can comply with 3 round magazine limits imposed on hunters. To do this: a dowel is placed in the magazine tube to prevent it from holding more than 2 rounds. The dowel for sale here on this page will take up the space of 5 or 6 rounds in order to comply with such regulations. You need to know which round count your magazine holds... then subtract 2 from that number to know what round plug you need.
For instance, if you have a 9 round total gun, that is called an 8 plus 1 (or 8 +1), that gun holds 8 rounds in the magazine tube... thus take 2 rounds away from 8 rounds (8 -2) = 6 rounds... an 8 +1 gun needs at 6 round plug to comply with federal migratory bird rules (sorry for the story problem, but life is a story problem... oh and we are talking standard 2 3/4" or 3" rounds... not the "shorties").
Some unsolicited advice: If your happen to have a barrel with removable chokes in your security/tactical gun, you probably want to shoot a tighter choke (when trying to hit flying birds or turkey... ie modified/full/extra full), than you'd use in a defensive situation. The trouble is: Most of these security style guns are fixed cylinder bore (CYL ie no choke). With Cylinder bore, you probably won't be able to hit birds at any distance... unless you use ammo with special wads, like Federal's "Flight Control" wad. If your gun has a fixed Improved Cylinder (IC... ie very little choke), you might be ok to a reasonable distance (30 yards) when using steel shot, but lead will probably spread very fast and not be useful much past 20 yards.
Good LUCK!
