TacStar 6 Shot Sidesaddle Black

Got the TACStar side saddle shell carrier for my Mossberg 590. Installation was a snap. The instructions included are easy enough to read and follow and matched the hardware/configuration on my shotgun. I read the top rated review on the product and thought purchasing the extra nut for the long bolt in the trigger assembly sounded like a really good idea. Unfortunately, I received my side saddle in the height of the COVID 19 lockdown, so a discretionary trip to the hardware store was out of the question. As it turns out, I respectfully disagree with the earlier reviewer that said you needed the nut for the second mooring point. The mounting plate for the carrier has two holes. One is for the front screw in the action and the second hole is for the longer trigger assembly bolt. That second hole is threaded, meaning that when you put the longer bolt in, you screw it into the mounting plate. Therefore, there are actually two attachment points for the carrier to the receiver. Blue loctite is a great idea, however, and I fully support that. I may still go get an additional nut for the longer bolt if I'm looking for something to do later on, but the bottom line is I don't think it's needed. If you do, great - get the additional nut. I'm not casting dispersions here or saying anyone is wrong. Merely that the carrier I received had two, not one, attachment points. The plastic carrier itself was a little curved so you had to press down once you attached one end so that the other end's holes would align. The end side screws threaded immediately. The middle ones needed a little persuasion to get the threaded shaft aligned with the holes, but they eventually went in ok. I have NOT used the gun since I installed it, so perhaps the ratings change if after 10 rounds the thing is rattling around loose. Based on other reviews, however, I don't expect that to be the case. All in all I have a 6 shot carrier on the receiver, a bandolier shoulder strap, and a full magazine, so I'm pretty loaded up if I ever need it. Good value for money and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it or buy another one.

It’s a good product, as all tacstar products are, holds the cartridges very well, Definitely better than the cheaper ones on eBay, But why would you want to put something cheap on your expensive gun? Fitted mine to a mossberg 500 field, Due to the forend overlapping the receiver when racked back you will need to modify it so it doesn’t foul the saddle, or replace your forend with one that finishes flush with the receiver, I’m changing mine so had no problem purchasing this side saddle

Read somewhere that this would fit a mossberg 88 and took a chance, turns out it does bolt on properly. The product itself is well made, solid and looks sharp, holds shells pretty snugly. I would certainly recommend it.

Exelente todo perfecto !! El artículo es tal y como se describe !!

My first unit that I received didn't have enough relief/ countersink machined into the pocket on the backing plate, didn't leave enough thread exposed for the nut to grab. But the seller was prompt and replaced with a new unit within 24 hrs, and the second kit fit perfectly. The only thing that I would change with their design would be the long machine screw that replaces the trigger pin. It should only have threads at the very end and not the portion thats exposed to the trigger housing but that's minor and I'm OCD. I do recommend blue lock tight if you use your blaster a lot. I'm really happy with the side saddle, it's on my Persuader and now have 14 rounds of double OO and slugs on board! I'd recommend this sidesaddle to all my buddies.
