DIY - shotshell sidesaddle velcro conversion

[REDHORSE]

The cheap side saddle I purchased for my Remington finally stripped out for good.

I began looking for a replacement sidesaddle and wanted to go with one that mounted via industrial strength Velcro to the sides of the receiver.

Then it popped into my head, that I should just convert what I have to use industrial strength Velcro.

I picked up some Velco brand (industrial strength) @ Wally world, while shopping for ammo.

In about 15 minutes I was done installing the adhesive backed Velcro to the sidesaddle and receiver.



I put about 150 rounds of heavy field 12 ga & slugs through the shotgun this past weekend (3-gun match and screwing around @ the range) and it held up perfectly. The Velcro is super strong and it barely moves at all. More than strong enough for use in a match. This isn't your run the mill Velcro.

Hey awesome redhorse, I did the exact same thing for my Mossberg but only because I wanted a shell holder for the RT side of the reciever, something that no one had made commercially afaik.
