Only a couple of weeks ago, I asked what the heck the wooden dowel was in the magazine tube of my new Mossberg 500.
Since you guys said even a pencil or stick would work as a LIMITER ROD, I've been thinking of a replacement for the wood dowel.
I found a common white plastic coat-hanger and cut off the bottom hanger part with Klein Lineman's pliers, shortened it to the proper 9" and smoothed the ends with the coarse side of an Arkansas sharpening stone. This wasn't the "thick" hanger, but the thinner variety.
Even with a slight "memory" this worked great when I ran shells through the ejection cycle. This is so high-tech, Mossberg will probably buy up a railroad car full of clothes hangers.
