Model 1000 12 gauge mag limiting pin
I am in desperate need of help in regards to the magazine limiting pin on my model 1000 12 gauge. I originally bought the shotgun at a pawn shop when I was 18, it was and still is in flawless condition and it is my favorite shotgun. However, it is missing the magazine limiting pin and I as a foolish teenage did not even bother to check the mag capacity the first time I took it duck hunting and got popped by a Texas game warden who was nice enough to let it slide. I have searched high and low trying to find a replacement part to no avail. My question is, if I cannot find a replacement pin are there any other options I can do to limit it to two in the tube? This gun has been limited to recreation for 10 years now and I very much want to get it ready to go for dove season. I also have a posting in the wanted section if anyone has one for sale. Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

Thanks I'll give them a call. I am still curious to hear if there are other options for limiting the magazine capacity as they have a $25 minimum order and $12.50 shipping which sadly is more then I would like to spend at this time.

Simple......Use a pencil cut to the proper length.....Drop inside the magazine spring and you are GTG......

I see the pin must be out of stock at gunpartscorp. Maybe you can use a roll pin as a replacement.

Did you find a pin yet?
I don't know how handy you are or what you have available for tools, but it looks like it would be easy enough to make the pin out of a 5mm bolt.
Diameter of the pin is 5mm; overall length is 25mm; 1mm of each end is turned down to 4mm diameter; 15mm of one end is split with a 1.5mm wide cut and the ends spread apart slightly.
If you haven't found the pin yet and fabricating one is not in your wheelhouse send me a PM, I can probably fix you up with one.
