Monstrum Side Saddle 12 Gauge Shotgun Shell Holder | Compatible with Remington 870/TAC-14/1100 Series Shotguns

This is a very well-made part and was easy to install. My only issue is that the shells don't fit tightly, but in most conditions, they should be just fine. Unless you're going to war with it.! Looks good on the gun and this was cheaper than most all the others I looked at, or have owned in the past. I would buy one again when needed.

Easy to install works great

I got this shell carrier for my Rem 870 that I use for casual weekend clay shooting. While this is an awesome product that I highly recommend, there are some important notes I hope a future purchaser will find helpful: I was surprised by the presentation. The carrier came in a sleek box and the actual hardware laying in some nicely cut foam. Already impressed! When I went to place it on my Rem I encountered some issues. While it was easy to get the two OEM trigger assembly pins out of the receiver, the two supplied for replacement didn't go nicely. DO NOT forcefully hammer these pins or you'll ruin them. First note: If you inspect the hole alignment, you'll notice some small metal clips that the pins need to pass over. While your OEM pins have a very slight taper on the ends, the new ones do not. I was able to fix this by taking some 200 grit sand paper and gently beveling one end of the pin so it would pass over the internal trigger assembly clip more easily. After I did, they slid right in with a few gentle taps. Second note: It's true, the supplied hex wrenches and screws for the pins aren't forged titanium. They're on the cheaper side. They can strip and bend. DO NOT over tighten these screws or apply unnecessary force. Instead, get a little blue (or red) loctite and put a tiny layer around the threads before you screw them in. Then you can hand tighten without worry of a loose screw or stripping the head. Send a few rounds down range then tighten them again. Third note: The actual carrier tension for shot shells is hit or miss depending on what kind of ammo you're using. Dummy rounds? Slide right out. Winchester Super Target? Perfect fit. Federal? Hold so tight I can't get em' out! Here's the fix: Cut some tiny squares of electrical or grip tape and stick them on the insides of the holders. You can create a little bit of tension by layering tape and it's practically invisible.

For the money you can't beat this side saddle. It installed in just a few minutes on my Remington 870. The quality is comparable to a tac star or ati side saddle but, at a lower price. Shells slide in and out easily enough but won't pop out while shooting. Overall this is probably going to be my go to side saddle option for all my pump shotguns from now on.

Nice quality but does not fit 870 as advertised. It won’t allow you to pump to cycle the action fully.

Difficult to install. The pins need work so that they may go in okay. They should have found a better and less complicated way to mount it.

Works well but if you have a old factory long forend it will not work as they will hit each other and you can not rack it

This product fit my gun perfectly and holds my ammunition securely. Great product.
