Re: Magazaine Tube Plug Included?
Oh Yeah!
Better safe than sorry, I know my luck, when it comes to gray areas. It's not good! So if I'm going to make a mistake, it'll be on the side of caution!
Recently been checking up on Upland game reserves. Spendy? yes! but still and all they do have their benifits, like hunting from October 1st until April 15th. I dunno, still doing some research on the matter, but it's looking like I'll have to get some folks together and save up my nickles and dimes. Betcha I won't need a plug!

Re: Magazaine Tube Plug Included?
I took my dog to a preserve last year for some training. Nice place and very reasonably priced. It was really far away though!
When it comes to hunting and my licensing, I error to the side of caution too!

Re: Magazaine Tube Plug Included?
I ran into that this year (or season) with the place bein booked. Didnt make it out there at all...
We ended up hunting a couple of nice public places... till I broke my foot at work. Today is actually the last day of the season but we havent been hunting the last 4 weeks.

Re: Magazaine Tube Plug Included?
The only place I shoot that doesn't require a plug is at the range. I dont really care if I have 2+1 or 5+1, just give me opportunity to practice feeding the thing for dove season.Gunner said:

Re: Magazaine Tube Plug Included?
you may have to trim it down some, the 500 doesn't have much of an opening in the end of the magazine tube.Gunner said:

Re: magazine tube replacement
I got this assembly and it took 5 minutes to install, works like a charm :mrgreen: I now have 7 different barrels for my Mossy 500, no need to buy other guns. :ugeek:John A. said:You'd basically need something like this:

I considered it for a brief minute, until I remembered that as long as you have extra bullets and a spare hand, the existing 6 round tube will never run dry
Re: Magazine Plug
What I did with mine was to go to the hardware store here locally and bought a 1/4" dowel rod. I think it was 3 or 4' long and was about .79 cents.
I loaded 2 shells into the magazine, stuck the rod down through the top and then marked it. I cut it just below my line to allow for the magazine lug and then just a little more to be certain it wasnt gonna be a super tight fit to get two shells in, then put it all together and checked it.
You can use 3" shells if you want just be certain of havin enough room if you ever wanna go that route. But def check and make sure you cant get three 2 3/4" shells. And if for some reson you make it too short, you should have plenty of dowel left!
