TacStar Shotgun Rail Mount with SideSaddle Mossberg

The TacStar Shotgun Rail Mount with SideSaddle for Mossberg combines shell carrier capacity with tactical rail integration, delivering a proven solution for duty shotgun configurations. Designed for law enforcement, military, and civilian operators who demand reliable ammunition accessibility without sacrificing ergonomic sight picture, this accessory transforms the classic Mossberg platform into a modern tactical system. The SideSaddle approach—mounting shells perpendicular to the receiver—has been field-proven across decades of patrol, breaching, and specialized operations where fast reload capability directly impacts engagement outcomes.

The TacStar design uses Pachmayr's precision-molded polymer construction paired with steel fastening hardware, creating a mount that secures to the Mossberg receiver without requiring permanent modification. The integrated Picatinny rail section allows mounting of optics, lights, or backup sights while the side-mounted shell loops retain rounds in a position that's accessible during tactical movement and doesn't interfere with magazine-fed or traditional tube-fed operation. The compact 4.7-inch profile minimizes overall length growth while the 0.53-pound weight addition remains negligible compared to the handling and response benefits gained from having 4–6 extra rounds immediately available during critical incidents.

This mount excels for Mossberg 500, 590, and compatible variants commonly issued in correctional facilities, tactical teams, and patrol fleets. Installation is tool-free or requires only basic gunsmith hardware; no fitting or drilling of the receiver is necessary. Operators who prioritize ammunition capacity on the gun itself—rather than relying solely on belt-mounted pouches—will find the TacStar SideSaddle a practical investment that improves reload speed under stress and maintains the shotgun's balance during sustained operations.
