If it has a tube magazine under the barrel, the end of it probably unscrews and a spring and a plug will come out. Put it back together with out the plug and you have a 5-shot magazine. Just don't get caught hunting migratory waterfowl without the plug in place.

How many shells does the Remington 1187 hold?

From the factory, it will hold a total of 5: 4 in the magazine, plus 1 in the chamber. Remington includes an optional magazine plug that can be user-installed to limit the magazine capacity to 2 shells, in compliance with the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act (but I seriously doubt anyone actually installs this unless hunting on Federal land). Third-party magazine extensions are readily available that will increase the capacity of the magazine by at least 3 more shells. (Seriously, if you have to ask this question you probably shouldn't be allowed to own a gun.)


Why can you only load 3 shells into the mag and 1 in the chamber of your Browning A5 12 gauge?

It depends. Has the magazine plug been removed? Remove the forearm and the barrel. The magazine may have a wood or plastic plug in it. If the plug has not been cut, then only two standard size shells should fit, along with one in the chamber; This would limit the gun to only three shots as allowed for waterfowl hunting. With the plug removed, the gun should handle four shells in the magazine and one in the chamber. Magnum model receivers have extra room if using only 2/3/4 shells. If the magazine tube has no plug and you can load only three shells, check the spring and possibly replace if needed. There is one other possibility and that is if you have a three shot model made prior to the 1950's. Only the original forearm will indicate this, in which you should only be able to load two in the magazine and possibly have a bad spring as well.

How do you remove the plug from Winchester 1400 magazine?

The Winchester 1400 does not have a plug, so it cannot be removed. There is only room for 2 shells, unlike the 1200/1300 pump which can hold 4 shells with the plug removed. The end of the magazine tube is where the gas piston is installed. If you look at the tube, you will see that it is crimped about half way down, separating the tube into two sections. One section acts as the magazine while the other acts as the gas cylinder (used to operate the action upon firing). To remove the gas piston, unscrew the magazine cap, insert a screw driver into the recoil spring and hold it towards the butt of the gun. The pin connecting the carrier to the piston can then be pulled up and out. WARNING: WITH THIS PIN REMOVED, THE PISTON AND RECOIL SPRING ARE FREE TO FLY OUT OF THE MAGAZINE TUBE WITH MUCH FORCE! MAKE SURE YOU RESTRAIN THE PISTON AND SPRING PROPERLY! The piston and recoil spring are removed from the front of the magazine tube.
