Hi all-

I am sure this is a really naive question but here goes. I bought my Benelly M3 Super 90 pre ban in early 94, with a regular stock (i.e. no pistol grip). It came with an insert in the tubular magazine which limits the magazien capacity to 2 rounds (+ 1 in chamber). I shoot it at the range once every 4-5 months or so and so far I have not removed the insert. I have recently done some research and cannot find any law which limits me to 2 round mag capacity.

So my questions are:
- why is there an insert limiting capacity to 2 rounds in the mag?
- is it OK to take insert out?
- would it be different w/ a post ban shotgun?

Btw, does anyone know if I can shoot 3"magnum shells in my shotgun? I bought it in early 94.

Thanks in advance!
