Mesa Tactical Mossberg 500/590A1/Mav88 SureShell Aluminum Carrier

The Mesa Tactical SureShell Mossberg 500/590A1/Mav88 shot shell carrier mounts directly to the receiver of the shotgun.

The SureShell shot shell carriers retain ammunition reliably and, being metal, can withstand the rigors of daily use and abuse. Fabricated from aircraft aluminum, they feature an innovative rubber friction retention system and tough construction to endure years of use and abuse.

SureShell carrier yokes are milled from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, then bead blasted and Mil-spec hard anodized for a rugged non-glare finish. SureShell yokes are secured to application-specific brackets, and some SureShell carriers include high temperature adhesive-backed die-cut rubber gaskets to protect the host shotgun’s finish. A unique arrangement of threaded fasteners secures the shell holder to the shotgun receiver without the risk of stripping threads in the aluminum bracket.

The side mount scheme of the SureShell shotshell carriers for the Mossberg 500/590 substitutes two custom-machined steel Chicago screws for the trigger pin. At the front of the mounting plate, custom retaining steel hardware is used with an elongated extractor screw and a machined key hole in the plate. The mounting plate even features a window over the shotgun serial number location, to make it easier for armorers to inventory their weapons. Note that SureShell shot shell carriers cannot be installed on the right side of Mossberg shotguns.

To use the six shot SureShell carrier mounted on the left side of the Mossberg 500/590 shotgun, you must use a tactical forend that does not overlap the receiver, or a factory forend that is cut down appropriately.
