Fits:

These SureShell shotshell carriers for the Mossberg 500 and 590 feature mounting brackets with integral top Picatinny sight rails. Using the top mounting screw holes found on Mossberg 500 and 590 shotguns made since 1997. The SureShell shotshell carriers are thus slung on the left side of the receiver, securely fastened at the top. No other shell carrier mounting method is as secure or looks as good.
The Picatinny rails are machined from aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum, which are mil-spec hard anodized and provide an extremely durable non-glare matte finish. The basic saddle rail design provides a robust mounting platform suitable for mounting a variety of optical sights, while a second version, which is nearly identical to the basic version, also includes a Mesa Tactical four, six, or eight shell SureShell shotshell carrier mounted on the left side of the receiver. Both versions are manufactured in compliance with MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny specifications, and no gunsmithing is required for installation.
The principle difference between one model of SureShell and another, aside from capacity, is the backing plate, which is designed to mount the carrier assembly on a particular model of shotgun. Side-mount SureShell shotshell carriers for Mossberg , Remington and Benelli M1 shotguns use the trigger group pin holes to secure the assemblies to the weapon; the Benelli M2 Tactical, Benelli M4/M1014, Benelli SuperNova Tactical and some Mossberg 500/590 versions take advantage of the factory-tapped rail mounting holes in the tops of these shotguns and include integrated Pictanny optics mounting rails; another version with an integrated rail is the saddle-mount design for Remington; SureShell Carriers for M4 SOPMOD stocks feature special hardware for attachment to these buttstocks; Adapter Mount SureShell shotshell carriers are designed to be attached to Mesa Tactical Telescoping Stock Adapter accessory mount points.
FOREND COMPATIBILITY
Factory shotgun forends, except “tactical” forends, often feature significant receiver overlap when the bolt is pulled back. These forends will need to be cut down or replaced with aftermarket “tactical” forends to be used with some SureShell shotshell carriers. Before you install a SureShell shotshell carrier, measure your forend’s receiver overlap and compare it to the furthest forward point of the shotshell carrier. Then cut any potential overlap or interference off the end of the forend with a miter saw or a rotary arm saw for a perfect fit.

Practical Mossberg 500 Side Saddle and Mount
There’s no gaps on the top rail, making it good for optics. Side rail holds the rounds tight enough for transport, but slightly loose enough for acquisition when needed.
Fits 835 perfectly
I had read on many sites that parts made for the 500/590 work on 835s. I bought this hoping that it would work, and I was not disappointed. Came with everything I needed for installation, and the build quality exceeded my expatiations.
Very high quality side saddle for Mossberg 500
Very high-quality piece, very easy to install, works perfectly.
Mossberg 500 side-saddle with rail
This Mossberg 500 shell carrier was Easy to install. Unfortunately, the directions didn't include instructions for installing on my Mossberg 500. But it was easy enough I didn't need them. Very sturdy too.
Don't over tighten!!!!!!
Yes, I over tightened the screws that attached this to my Mossberg 590 and stripped the threads. I fixed it, and it works great. Solid mount and holds my shells securely. I would NOT suggest using Loctite on this because you may need to remove it to replace the rubber tube that carries the cartridges in place. I've shot it many times and even dropped it to see how it held up, and it is very rugged and reliable. Worth every penny.
