It comes fitted with a wooden dowel to prevent more than two shells from being inserted in order to protect "migrating birds." Of course, any idiot, including me, can remove this dowel (it's even in the instructions) so you can use its full capacity. Evidently this was done to meet the requirements of some idiotic law that congress passed. I predict that no more gun laws will be passed so long as we have terrorism on our doorstep.

If you are hunting migratory birds (ducks, dove, etc.), you will want that dowel in your gun. (If a game warden catches you hunting without it, you will be subject to a fine probably higher than the price of your shotgun.) As long as you are not hunting migratory birds, there is no reason to have the dowel installed, so it is nice to know how to remove it and use the full capacity of the gun.

What exactly is your complaint about this convenient feature that allows you to have more capacity in your shotgun, yet still be able to convert it to comply with the wildlife department regulations?

I don't have a complaint but it just seemed silly. However your explanation clears this up. I am not hunting migratory birds but some varmits around my place; not game or protected animals.

does it have to be a wooden dowel or can empty shells be used to keep to the two live shell limit?

The full text of the Second Amendment:

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

This is the only part of the constitution that says the righy shall not be infringed, but that right gets infringed upon the most. THAT IS MY COMPLAINT!!

Im not a bird hunter, so the wooden dowel thing is confusing. Is this to prevent the pump action from being used, that is, when hunting migratory birds you can only single shot (maually load) each round?
