The TacStar SideSaddle (TacStar part no. 1081130) mounts four extra 20 gauge shells directly on the receiver of a Remington 870, 1100, or 1187, putting spare ammunition in a fast, accessible location for reloading under pressure. The polymer shell carrier attaches to an aluminum mounting plate that bolts straight to the receiver, and the design is built to clear long forends without interference. All mounting screws are included, so installation doesn’t require gunsmithing on most shotguns. It’s a straightforward way to add on-gun ammunition capacity to a defensive or hunting shotgun.
