shotgun capacity laws in NH

I just got a remington 870 used. It had a plug in the feed tube to restrict the # of rounds to 2. I assumed this was due to a hunting regulation the previous owner was adhering to.


A local told me that there was a LAW (not a gaming regulation) that restricts the capacity of shotguns to 2 rounds. I think he is mistaken.

Anybody got there NH gun law book handy?

I didn't see anything in here http://www.atf.gov/firearms/statelaws/26thedition/newhampshire.pdf

Doesn't help any, but that sounds like a shotgun that has been plugged for hunting. Here in Kentucky, that's the law, and in many other states.

Just plugged for hunting I'd guess too. Fed laws for hunting migratory birds I think is two. Small game is different from state to state.

Three rounds max for ME and NH when hunting migratory birds, 5 in Maine for all other hunting. All our shot guns are plugged.

The intent of my question was to know if I was allowed to have 10 rounds for home defence, skeet shooting, pest contol ect.

only limitation is engineering and your physical strength, can you carry a 5,000
round mag?!"
