Remington Side Saddle Question

[Rhythm of Life]

I was wondering if any of you guys know if the mesa tac 4 shot side saddle will fit a 870 with standard fore-end. One of the ones that passes the receiver by about an inch.

I don't think so rack the slide and look at where the forend stops on the receiver.

I believe the 4 & 6 shot Mesa side saddle should fit with No mods.

I have a 8 on mine and it required i trim off about an 1 - 1.5in of the forend.

The 6-shot will NOT work w/ the standard fore-end. I'm guessing the 4-shot would, but unfortunately I don't know for sure.

6-shot = not enough clearance.

So this back part your had to chop?



If thats the case then it should definitely fit.

My 870 came with the Tac Star 4 shot side saddle with the Remington stock forend with no interference, so it will work. I made the switch to a Mesa tactical 6 shot side saddle and I installed a Speedfeed LE forend.

I used a hacksaw. took 5 minutes. did it with the forend still on the rails.

Cool, hopefully soon I'll find some wood stock at a reasonable price to chop to fit if I choose to go bigger than four.

If you have the Sport forend niether the 6 or the 4 round Mesa will work without modifying the forend. If you go with the 4 then you only have to knotch about 1/2" from the top corner of the forend. You do not have to cut it off all the way.

I am a Mesa Dealer and feature these on my custom builds and have installed hundreds of the shell holders so this is the correct answer.

Well that settles it.

Thank you.

My 870 is setup just like yours.
