The Winchester 1400 does not have a plug, so it cannot be removed. There is only room for 2 shells, unlike the 1200/1300 pump which can hold 4 shells with the plug removed. The end of the magazine tube is where the gas piston is installed. If you look at the tube, you will see that it is crimped about half way down, separating the tube into two sections. One section acts as the magazine while the other acts as the gas cylinder (used to operate the action upon firing).
To remove the gas piston, unscrew the magazine cap, insert a screw driver into the recoil spring and hold it towards the butt of the gun. The pin connecting the carrier to the piston can then be pulled up and out. WARNING: WITH THIS PIN REMOVED, THE PISTON AND RECOIL SPRING ARE FREE TO FLY OUT OF THE MAGAZINE TUBE WITH MUCH FORCE! MAKE SURE YOU RESTRAIN THE PISTON AND SPRING PROPERLY! The piston and recoil spring are removed from the front of the magazine tube.

How you put a plug into the magazine of a Winchester model 1400?
Remove the magazine tube cap. The plug is inserted inside the spring, and cap replaced. You may want to have a gunsmith do this. It will take less time for him to do it than it will for you to find the springs that got loose.

How do you get the plug out of a browning 2000 shotgun?
Remove the gas system. Drift out the black cross pin out of the magazine tube. The pin is directly below the gas system through a polymer plug. The polymer plug should come out of the top of the magazine tube when you remove that pin, so be VERY careful when removing the pin. Now remove the magazine spring. On the follower end of the spring should be the plug you are wanting to remove. Remove it from the spring. And put the spring and polymer plug back in. The dished end of the polymer plug goes toward the end of the magazine tube.
