Hey guys,

 

Pretty much what the title says... How difficult is it to install a side saddle on a Mossberg? Or more specifically, a 590A1? Is it something that I can do at home? Or have to take it somewhere to get done?

 

Thx

Extremely simple. Buy it and follow the instructions.

Very simple.

Extremely and Very Simple.

 

Just don't over tighten the screws.

Cool - thanks guys. Guess I'll just order one and follow the instructions

 

Any particular brands I should stay away from? I was thinking of going with a tacstar or mesa tactical...

First, I do not own or have I ever owned a shotgun so put down them flamethrowers. Now, what is a side saddle?

Dunno about mossbergs, but I can tell you that on my semi-auto benelli 12 gauge if it screws in, it will eventually loosen and back out, so make blue loctite your friend.

 

XDJohn, this is a side saddle:

 

Side sadde sits on the side of the gun and holds extra shells

Thanks guys! I had seen them on the stocks but not up there. Looks pretty neat!

I got them on both, good place to keep the rounds if you don't want to leave the shotgun loaded.

Anyone have a place to buy the one on the side (not the stock)?

 

I like that and want one for a MOssberg 500.

I got my tacstar at Midway: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?p ... ber=386040

I have 2 of those, they are an excellent choice

All,

 

What is your opinion of using a 3m product to attach the side saddle to the shotgun in lieu of screws? Similar to how this product is attached:

I have not found a side saddle for my Ithaca 37...

Maybe I'm not seeing what you're seeing in that link, but I don't see anything about 3M, and the only 3M that comes to mind is tape. The clipdraw uses screws to attach to rear of the slide (on the glock atleast).

Anyway, if you do mean using some sort of 3M tape to attach a sidesaddle, in theory it may work... my big concern would be it coming loose under recoil. I'd also wonder how well it would hold up to aggressively pulling shells out of the carrier.

Does the ithaca not have any screw holes in the receiver you could screw into?

sorry - look at the universal:

Yes, the Ithaca has screw holes, would rather not use them, and with the Ithaca being bottom feed and eject, I can mount side saddles on both sides of the receiver.

I see what you're saying now. It should work.. i'd put a bunch of rounds thru it before I deemed it "HD ready" tho. Also, since the tape has some thickness to it, the carrier won't sit as close to the receiver as if it was screwed on, which could, in theory, present somewhat of a snag hazard. But, it definitely seems workable

If you're not too concerned about removing the tape cleanly, you can use double faced foam tape. That stuff can hold anything, and it doesn't care too much about moisture or vibration. A couple of strips (one high, one low) and you should be good to go. Taking it off is a pita, and you'll probably need some sort of solvent to remove it completely.
