Mesa Tactical Sureshell Shotshell Ammunition Carrier 12-Gauge Remington 870
This receiver mount shotshell ammunition carrier is a high-quality product and looks and works great. I have chosen 6-round version and needed to install a shorter forend. Sureshell Ammunition Carrier will not work with standard forends.

System Concept
It holds shells securely thanks to the elastomer tube. Here is system concept description from Mesa Tactical:
Sureshell System Concept
What I like about the Sureshell is that it is attached to the receiver more securely (using 4 special screws), it is made of metal not plastic. Another thing is that it doesn’t cover shotgun serial number which may be useful in some cases. But elastomer tube has a disadvantage. It is not recommended to store shells in carrier for a long time.
After testing it on the shooting range I have found it very useful and convenient. Highly recommended for home-defense and competitive shooting.
TacStar SideSaddle is a cheaper alternative which I have successfully used for about one year.

I think it would be great if you would store shells in it and see how long it takes before the elastomer tube needs to be replaced. Of course you might not want to if you’re going to be using it for competition or home defense, might dump shells all over the place at the wrong time.
Still seems like a great piece of equipment and I can’t wait until I get one (I’m going to try the 8 rounder.)

Jon,
Thanks for suggestion, I think I will make such experiment. It is very interesting for me too.
That would be great if you send me a photo with 8 round shell carrier.

Gun fund is rather depleted right now, but I’ll be sure to send you a photo when I get it.

Lots of experiance with Mesa products. Check the post for 870 Rem police forend.
Mesa makes excellent stuff and has great tech service, see my post on the police forearm post.
Thanks for your comment, I will check your post.
FREE ELASTOMER REPLACEMENT. mesa has improved the elastomer, and replacements are free of charge, according to their operation guide (p. 4, 2nd paragraph).
they have two kinds, one is the standard, the other has “a higher, or harder, durometer rating”. both “are available free of charge from Mesa Tactical”.
6 VS. 8 SHOT CARRIER. i almost bought the 8 shot carrier, but it interferes with my thumb. if you look at the 6 shot carrier above, imagine one extra shot carrier in front, and one behind, and that is the size and placement for the 8 shot carrier.
Thank you for the useful information about MESA SURESHELL carrier!
