This item works great but I gathered from the description that no modifications would be necessary for the Mossberg 500. In fact it interferes with the forend when it is brought to the rear position. I either had to cut down the forend or replace it. After studying it for awhile I instead cut down the Side Saddle to hold 5 shots instead of 6. I had to make several cuts with a radial arm saw and drill and tap some new holes in the Side Saddle. It now looks and functions great!

5.0 out of 5 stars defacto standard for pumps, January 11, 2009

This comes in 6 shell, 5 shell and I believe 4 shell sizes. I bought the SIX shell model for a Mossberg 500 tactical. For the Mossberg 500 it mounts as a metal plate by replacing the screw in the back of the receiver and replacing the punch out pin for the trigger assembly and replacing it with a screw. These two screws are used to mount a metal plate to the receiver and then the plastic shot shell holder mounts to that metal plate. It holds shells tight enough, but not too tight.
ONE POSSIBLE ISSUE: If your pump action forend overlaps the receiver on the back stroke it will interfere with the Sidesaddle. You will have to modify or replace the forend to work with the Sidesaddle. For me it was not too bad - I removed the standard Mossberg forend and carefully trimmed the forend with a coping saw and utility knife, then carefully filed and sanded it to look near perfect. Looks great and works perfect with the sidesaddle.

Quality is better than I expected. Extremely easy to install on Mossberg 500. Buy the 4 shot sidesaddle if you have a long field type fore grip though.
