How do I remove/install the 3-Shot adapter from the Model 9410 and 9410 Packer magazine tube?


Magazine Plug
The 9410 is delivered with a three-shot adapter plug included in the box. This plug limits magazine capacity to two shells in compliance with federal migratory bird (doves are migratory birds) regulations and regulations in some states. If you do not wish to be limited to three shots total — when it is not required by law — you can remove the adapter plug. When removing the plug, be certain there are no shells in the magazine or chamber and keep the barrel and magazine pointed in a safe direction at all times. Remember, the plug and magazine cap are under spring pressure, so care must be taken for safe removal. Always point the end of the magazine away from your face and in a safe direction. Never look directly down into the cap end of the open magazine. Always wear eye protection when removing and installing the magazine’s three-shot plug. If you misplace or break the adapter included with your Model 9410, contact our parts department.
