In oregon is it legal to remove the magazine plug in a shotgun so it can hold more than 2+1? If so, what is the maximum capacity you can legally have? I know its illegal if you're hunting migratory birds but I'm just shooting sporting clays. Thanks.
I know you can remove the plug for self defense purposes. (Bird hunting notwithstanding of course) I don't know the rest.
The magazine capacities are limited by the hunting regs. As long as you aren't hunting I believe you won't have a problem.
ODFW just called me back and said that the only time you can't have more than 2+1 in your shotgun is when bird hunting. So if your out just shooting clays in the woods you can load as many as your gun will hold.
Last I heard, the 3 shot limit is an old Federal law when hunting Migratory birds. Some states have adopted it for all hunting, but many haven't. The newer LEO pumps have a magazine tube to the end of the barrel. The only restriction for hunting I see in the Oregon regs is at least a 18" barrel and 26" overall For Hunting. Federal regulations would still apply for migratory birds.
