i would get a shotgun because shotgun are more effective, but it depends on the purpose
Wooden dowel
While hunting, yes. Otherwise, no.
Best left to a gunsmith
A shotgun typically stores 5 rounds in its magazine. In some countries, when hunting certain types of game, you are only allowed 3 rounds in your magazine. The "plug" therfore goes into the magazine and takes up the space that two rounds would occupy., reducing the shotgun's magazine capacity be 2 and making it legal. Thus removing the plug restores the shotgun's capacity for a full magazine.
If you are referring to the magazine tube plug. The answer would be No. It is put there for bird hunting regulations only.
Gun is restricted to 3 rounds by design. It has no mag plug, that is where the gas system is.
When hunting, most states will require that a shotgun not be able to hold more than 3 shells- the plug blocks the magazine to limit how many shells. When not hunting, the plug is not required. It IS required when hunting any migratory bird- such as ducks, geese or dove.
Best to ask a gunsmith for help.
If it has a tubular magazine, then the plug is probably inserted in there. When hunting, a shotgun is typically not permitted to be loaded with more than three rounds (including the one in the chamber), and the plug is required to ensure the shotgun is not loaded with more than that. It comes out easily enough.
