cordoba2008 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Strange, but I can only load two shells in my 20 ga Cordoba plus the one in the chamber. Advertizing indicates 4 + 1 but using #8 shells (2 3/4"), the third shell I try to insert into the magazine will only go in about half-way. I have tried loading a shell in the chamber and then the magazine; and I have tried loading shells into the mag before loading one into the chamber. Anyone else experience this? Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseJames45auto Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 The magazine plug is in the shotgun still for Legal hunting of Migitory birds. Look at your manual to figure out how to take the magazine plug out of the tube. Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how to remove the plug? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo MD Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Take off the forearm retainer cap; the plug is an aluminum rod with a head in the threaded magazine "nipple". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Banjo! I had never even noticed that aluminum rod; I just thought that was an aluminum "cap" on the end of the magazine tube! So, it is strictly for use when hunting migratory birds? Removing it is not a problem otherwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banjo MD Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Glad to help, Cordoba2008. The gun doesn't need it to function properly; it's strictly for legal compliance (don't even think about hunting without it!) BTW; nice gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will certainly check local hunting laws before I go hunting anything other than clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
