Have you ever seen that kind of magazine spring retainer?

Just got an old Wingmaster.

Instead of the regular magazine spring retainer, I have that kind of plug, full steel, and a steel follower.

That plug is heavy!

Some old time heavy duck guns had a lead weight in the stock bolt to reduce felt recoil. Many used to add weight in one manner or another to trap guns as well. Today more modern recoil reducing techniques are employed.

Can you replace these with modern lighter parts? IF you want to that is lol

It's already replace by modern/lighter parts.

Was just curious about the utility of a plug that heavy.

The early 50's and 60's wingmaster used that style for balancing.
