Looking to utilize the full magazine for fun this summer.

Anyone know where I can find the correct spring, and perhaps what the part # may be ?

Thanks in advance !
 
Any good LGS ( Local Gun Store ) should be able to get you up and running.

My LGS has replaced bent and worn springs in my shotguns gratis ..

Unless your old spring is damaged,I see no reason to replace it. You can get a new spring from Brownells or Numrich or any number of places.
 
Blarby, in case you don't understand how the spring/plug works: the plug rides inside the full-length spring and prevents loading more than 2 shells. There aren't two different spring lengths for plugged and non-plugged (assuming same magazine tube length). Remove the plug and you're good to go. :)
 
Hmmmm

I was wondering about that.

I took the plug out, and when I loaded it up it just felt wrong.

I assume thats a result of never loading it that far before, but the tech in me assumed something must be different part-wise.

Thats what I get for over-thinkin !

Thanks 1k !
