Butler Creek Universal Synthetic Black Shotgun Magazine Plug

The Butler Creek Universal Synthetic Black Shotgun Magazine Plug is a compliance tool that limits magazine capacity on your shotgun to meet state hunting regulations. Made from durable synthetic material and sized to work with most 12-, 16-, and 20-gauge pump and semi-automatic shotguns, this plug lets you stay legal in jurisdictions that cap round count during the hunt season—a real-world requirement for waterfowl, upland game, and other regulated seasons across the country.

Installation is straightforward: the plug fits into your magazine tube and cuts to your desired length, so you can trim it precisely to match your local capacity limits without any guesswork. Whether you're running an older Mossberg, Remington, or other common platform, the universal design covers most standard shotgun actions. It's the kind of unglamorous but essential gear that keeps you hunting legally and keeps you out of the woods.

Black synthetic construction handles field use without fuss, and the ability to cut the plug means one part works across multiple shotguns or lets you dial in an exact round count. If you hunt in states with magazine capacity rules, this is a cheap insurance policy that takes five minutes to install.
