The Butler Creek Shotgun Plug 12/20 2.75/3 is a magazine-limiting device designed to bring your shotgun into compliance with state and federal hunting regulations. This tube insert fits most 12-gauge and 20-gauge pump and semi-automatic shotguns, reducing the total round capacity to meet waterfowl and upland game hunting requirements that typically limit magazine tubes to two or three rounds.
The plug's design is straightforward but effective: it occupies magazine tube space, physically preventing additional rounds from loading beyond the legal limit. The 2.75/3 designation indicates compatibility with both 2.75-inch and 3-inch magnum shells across 12 and 20-gauge platforms. Because shotgun magazine tubes vary in length and internal diameter, Butler Creek engineered this plug to be user-adjustable—it can be cut to the exact length required for your specific shotgun model, ensuring a snug fit that won't rattle or migrate during shooting or carrying.
This is essential gear for duck hunters, goose hunters, and upland bird hunters operating in jurisdictions where magazine capacity is regulated. Rather than purchasing a second shotgun or dealing with aftermarket magazine tubes, a simple plug retrofit takes minutes and costs far less. The lightweight construction (0.06 lbs) adds negligible weight to your setup. Installation requires no tools or gunsmithing—drop it in and you're done. For serious hunters who operate across multiple regulatory zones or seasons with different capacity limits, keeping an extra plug on hand provides flexibility without permanently altering your firearm.
