The Carlsons Universal Shotgun Plug (Carlsons part no. 00120) is a two-pack of magazine plugs built to fit shotguns across all gauges, cutting magazine capacity from four rounds down to two. Hunters commonly install a plug like this to stay within magazine-capacity limits required for migratory bird hunting, since a plugged shotgun can be verified at a glance without disassembly. Carlsons ships the plug slightly long so it can be trimmed to the exact length of a specific magazine tube using pruning shears, a PVC pipe shear, or a hacksaw. Because it fits any gauge before trimming, one part number covers plugging jobs across a whole shotgun lineup.
