Mesa Tactical, SureShell Carrier, Remington 870, 6 Shell 12 GA
Our SureShell shotshell carriers retain ammunition reliablyand, being metal, can withstand the rigors of daily use andabuse. Fabricated from aircraft aluminum, they feature aninnovative rubber friction retention system and tough constructionto endure years of use and abuse.
SureShell carrier yokes are milled from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, then beadblasted and Mil-spec hard anodized for a rugged non-glare finish. SureShell yokesare secured to application-specific brackets, and some SureShell carriers includehigh temperature adhesive-backed die-cut rubber gaskets to protect the host shotgun’sfinish.A unique arrangement of threaded fasteners secures the shell holder to the shotgun receiver without the risk of stripping threads in the aluminum bracket.
SureShell shotshell carriers are available in three configurations:four-shell, six-shell andeight-shell. The six-shell and eight-shell configurations can be installed on the left side of the receiver, while the four-shell carriers can be installed on either side of the receiver. Carriers can also be installed pointed back toward the stock.
The receiver mounting scheme of our receivermount SureShell carriers for the Remingtonshotguns uses a combination of steel fastenersthreaded into a steel pin (at the rear) and pairedChicago screws (up front) for more secure attachmentto the shotgun without the risk of pinching the receiver.The mounting plate even features a window over the shotgunserial number location, to make it easier for armorers to inventory their weapons. Note that SureShell shotshell carriers cannot be installed on the right side ofRemington semi-auto shotguns.
To use a six- and eight-shot SureShell carrier mounted on the left side of theRemington 870 shotgun, you must use a tactical forend that does not overlap the receiver,or a factory forend that is cut downappropriately. SureFire® forends are fullycompatible with our six-shot SureShell carriers,but will need about ½ inch shaved offthe end to be installed with our eight-shotSureShell carriers. Remington side mount SureShell carriers areavailable in both 12 gauge and 20 gauge models.
