Product Description
The saddle rails feature Picatinny rails machined from aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum, which are mil-spec hard anodized and provide an extremely durable non-glare matte finish.
The 1913 rail design provides a robust mounting platform suitable for mounting a variety of optical sights. Includes a Mesa Tactical six shell SureShell shotshell carrier mounted on the left side of the receiver.
Saddle Rails that extend the length of the shotgun are supported at the front by a barrel or magazine clamp. Certain full length rail systems available from Mesa Tactical, with and without integrated SureShell shotshell carriers, require a mounting point near the muzzle of the shotgun. On the Remington platforms, these mounting points take the form of a magazine clamp or barrel clamp. The fit between the rail and the clamp is very tight. The best installation procedure is to loosely install the clamp in its approximate location before attaching the rail at the receiver. Once the rail is firmly mounted on the receiver (or on the stock adapter for High-tube full length rails), move the clamp until the rail mounting holes are lined up and the mounting screws are started before finally tightening it into place. Use blue Loctite on all fasteners.
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.
