How to Remove the TriStar Cobra Force Pump Plug

The Cobra Force Pump shotgun is considered a "home defense" weapon by the manufacturer, Kansas City, Missouri-based TriStar Sporting Arms. The gun features a 20-inch barrel, a fiber-optic bridge front sight, fixed pistol grip stock and Picatinny rails on top of the receiver and at the bottom of its spring-loaded forearm. Because some state and local hunting regulations require that shotguns be limited to a three-round maximum shell capacity, the Cobra Force Pump is equipped with a magazine plug.
