I recently bought a Beretta 1301 Tactical and tried loading it with some A-zoom 12 gauge snap caps at home. I thought it was supposed to have 5+1 capacity, but I can only get 2 of them in the tube. Did I buy a dud, or am I just being an idiot? Did I miss some new capacity regulation?
Beretta 1301 Tactical MOD2 capacity lowered?

If the tube is standard length, then there will be an internal plug. Waterfowl hunting regulations have no more than three shells in the gun when hunting.
The standard mag tube should be able to hold 5 shells once the plug is removed. States side, they have full length mag tubes to the end of the barrel, and competition guns even beyond the barrel.

Good to have a factory one. Making my own, I used to get ridiculously fretful about my gun being tested by some hostile game warden and failing because the plug flexed a bit or something. Then I got worried that the wooden dowels I used would absorb rain and promote rust, so I went around looking for suitable plastic rods....Thanks Painkillers ! There was indeed a plug and I was just being a noob. Weird how I didn't find any info on it coming from factory with a plug installed in numerous searches.Hopefully this post helps someone else with the same question.
