quick norinco hp9 question

[007derek]

I have a friend out of town (new to shooting)
he's saying he purchased a norinco 870 clone , and the magazine tube only held two shells...
before i drive out there and show him how to take it down , do these
shotguns have a plug intalled in them? or is he just crazy?
i know its 4+1 .......
I'd prefer to do it over the phone with him due to my work

Help save me time!
Thanks
Cheers

ask for the barrell length & length of tube.

Mine only held 2 before I pulled out the factory plug.

your friend is right,for no reason the stupid factory put a black pliastic plug( about 3'' in the tube together with the spring.
Just tell your friend to pull the black plug out and throw it away, the HP9 will hold shells perfictly.

you may want to clean the mag spring very well.

one i took apart yesterday and it must have has 1/4lb of greese on it!!!
