Worked great
I bought this replace plug in my Winchester model 12 made in 1916. Worked perfectly no cutting or anything. Now gun is legal for hunting only holds 2 in magazine
works great
I bought one for a Win. model 12 20 ga. and another for a model 12 16 ga. to bring them in spec for hunting doves where gun must be limited to no more than 3 shells total. Work great, easy to install and no issues whatsoever. No trimming necessary, Just be careful and don't drop one of those little screws when taking the end cap off the magazine.
Best idea ever!!!!
Used in a 1100 and old A-5. I used to cut down broom handles. Never again. Both plugs worked great in the respective guns. It took longer to read the instructions then it did to put the plugs in the guns and function check. Took both out hunting the next day with zero issues. 6 out of 5 stars.
Works, and you might need two
Those who rated this poorly simply because it wasn't long enough for an extended magazine can just buy two and put them both in, one full length and the other adjusted as the directions say. I have a 21" Benelli M2. With a +5 Nordic Components magazine extension, the mag capacity is 8. With one uncut of these products, it's 5. The second one cut at the second-to-last notch makes the magazine capacity a legal 2 of both 2 3/4" and 3" shells. Because they are separate, the first one inserted moves a little and is audible. It would be great if Brownell's offered one twice the length, or allowed them to be attached together somehow for those of us with extended magazine tubes who want to hunt with the gun without removing the extension.
Good replacement!
I lost the wood dowel to my Mossberg 835 Shotgun. I went to the local gun store and they had these Brownell plugs. My research on the Internet told me that it needed to be 9 inches. There was a suggestion on the package to cut off the end cap, but I was able to leave it on and still screw on the cap to the magazine tube. I can easily take the dowel in and out without having to dump the shotgun upside down. I love it!
No Go
Winchester Defender 1300. Do not buy this if you have a 6 shot tube. It is too short to be effective.
Didn't work
When I buy something that claims to work in all shotguns I expect it to work in "all shotguns". I have a Remington 870 6+1 and this didn't reduce the magazine capacity down to the legal 2+1 rounds required for hunting here in CA. I can still fit 3+ in the tube and that makes it useless to me. Wish there had been more information on this product BEFORE I bought it. That's why I'm writing this review...
