You’re looking at your Benelli, maybe a Montefeltro you use for waterfowl, or a Sport you take to the clays range. The manual says it holds more shells than you’re legally allowed for hunting in most states. You need a simple, reliable, and correct part to bring that magazine capacity down to the legal three-shell limit. That’s the exact scenario this factory-original Benelli 3-Round Magazine Plug is engineered for. It’s not an accessory; it’s a compliance part, and getting the right one matters. As a gunsmith, I’ve seen the issues that come from using improvised plugs or incorrect parts—feeding problems, rattling, and even potential damage to the magazine tube. This plug is the direct solution.

The Benelli 3-Round Magazine Plug, part number 80092, is the factory-original component designed to limit magazine capacity for hunting compliance. Its precise fit and durable construction ensure reliable function without modifying your shotgun. Available now for $18.00, down from $20.00.

What This Benelli Magazine Plug Does
This part is a simple cylinder that inserts into the magazine tube of your Benelli shotgun, behind the follower. It physically occupies space, preventing more than two shells from being loaded into the magazine tube itself. Combined with one shell in the chamber, this brings your total capacity to three rounds, which is the federal limit for migratory bird hunting and the standard for many other game regulations. From a law enforcement perspective, using the correct, factory-original plug is the cleanest way to demonstrate compliance during a field check. It eliminates any ambiguity about your firearm’s configuration.
Features & Build Quality
This isn’t a generic piece of plastic rod. It’s a molded polymer component manufactured to Benelli’s specifications for their inertia-driven shotgun line. The material has a specific hardness and finish that allows it to slide smoothly within the magazine tube without binding or creating excessive friction on the follower or spring. The ends are properly radiused to prevent snagging.
I’ve handled aftermarket plugs that are simply cut-to-length dowels. They often have sharp edges, inconsistent diameters, or are made from materials that can swell or degrade. This factory part avoids all those issues. The length is precisely calculated for the Montefeltro, Sport, and Legacy models to achieve the exact three-round capacity without being so long that it interferes with the spring’s operation or so short that it allows an extra shell to sneak in.
Installation is straightforward and requires no tools. You simply field-strip the shotgun, remove the magazine spring and follower, drop the plug into the tube, and reassemble. The process takes about 60 seconds. When installed correctly, there should be no rattle or movement beyond the normal travel of the follower and spring. If you hear a distinct rattle, it’s a sign the plug is too short or the wrong diameter—a problem you won’t encounter with this OEM part.
Pros & Cons
- ✅ Factory Original Fit: Engineered specifically for Benelli’s magazine tube dimensions, ensuring perfect function without modification.
- ✅ Hunting Compliance: The definitive solution for meeting federal and state-mandated three-shell limits for migratory bird and other game hunting.
- ✅ Durable Polymer Construction: Made from a high-quality polymer that withstands repeated compression from the magazine spring and exposure to cleaning solvents and lubricants.
- ✅ Simple Installation & Removal: No gunsmithing required. Swap it in for hunting season and remove it for other uses in under a minute.
- ✅ Cost-Effective: At $18.00, it’s an inexpensive but critical part for any hunter using a compatible Benelli shotgun.
- ❌ Single-Use Part: Its sole function is capacity limitation. It doesn’t enhance performance or add features. If you don’t hunt or need to limit capacity, this part has no purpose for you.
- ❌ Model-Specific: This plug (part #80092) is designed for the Benelli Montefeltro, Sport, and Legacy series. It is not compatible with Benelli M1, M2, M3, M4, Nova, or Supernova models, which use different magazine tube designs and require different plugs. If you own one of those models, see our Shotgun Parts category for the correct part.
Who Should Buy This (And Who Shouldn’t)
Buy this Benelli 3-Round Magazine Plug if:
- You own a Benelli Montefeltro, Sport, or Legacy shotgun and participate in migratory bird hunting (ducks, geese) or other hunts with a three-shell magazine limit.
- You prefer using factory-original parts for critical compliance and reliability.
- You’ve lost or damaged your original magazine plug and need a direct replacement.
- You’re a detail-oriented shooter who wants the correct part for the job, not a makeshift solution.
Skip this plug and look at alternatives if:
- You own a different Benelli model (M1, M2, M4, Nova, Supernova). You need a different part number.
- You never hunt and have no legal need to limit your shotgun’s capacity. The part will simply sit unused.
- You are looking for a plug for a non-Benelli shotgun. Magazine tube diameters vary significantly by manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the correct magazine plug for my Benelli Montefeltro Silver?
Yes. The Benelli Montefeltro Silver uses the same magazine tube and internal components as the standard Montefeltro. This factory plug (part #80092) is the correct part for that model.
How do I install the magazine plug?
Unload the firearm and ensure it is safe. Unscrew the magazine end cap and remove the magazine spring and follower. Drop the plug into the magazine tube. Reinsert the follower and spring, then screw the end cap back on. The plug will sit behind the follower, limiting capacity.
Will this plug work for turkey hunting where the limit is often 2 or 3 shells?
Yes, but you must verify your specific state’s regulations for turkey hunting. Many states have a three-shell capacity limit, which this plug achieves. Some states may have a two-shell limit, which would require a longer plug. This plug is designed for a three-shell total capacity (2 in magazine + 1 in chamber).
My shotgun came with a plug. Why would I need to buy another one?
Many shooters remove the factory plug for sporting clays, home defense, or other uses and then misplace it. Having a spare ensures you are always ready for hunting season. It’s also a good backup in case the original is damaged.
Where can I buy a Benelli 3-round magazine plug online?
You can purchase the genuine Benelli 3-Round Magazine Plug (part #80092) right here at Miamishooterssupply (miamishooterssupply.com). We ship same-day from our warehouse in Boise, ID.
Is the plug length different for 12 gauge vs. 20 gauge models?
Yes, magazine tube diameters and required plug lengths are different between gauges. This specific part (80092) is for 12 gauge Benelli Montefeltro, Sport, and Legacy shotguns only. Do not attempt to use it in a 20 gauge model.
Can I cut a longer plug down to size if I need a 2-shell limit?
I do not recommend modifying factory parts for critical safety and compliance functions. An incorrectly sized plug can cause feeding malfunctions or may not provide a verifiable limit. If you require a different capacity limit, you should source a plug specifically designed for that length.
