Mesa Tactical 6 Shell Sureshell Polymer Carrier for Remington

Mesa Tactical 6 Shell Sureshell Polymer Carrier for Remington features shell holders injection molded from glass filled polymer and are secured to the receiver by a lightweight aluminum back plate with brass threaded inserts. The new SureShell Polymer Carrier also includes an innovative dual rubber friction system that reliably holds shotshells in place. Models are available with and without integral Picatinny rails for mounting optics.

The principle difference between one model of SureShell and another, aside from capacity, is the light-weight aluminum backing plate, which is designed to mount the carrier assembly on a particular model of shotgun. 

COMPONENTS

The following is a breakdown of the various components that make up the SureShell Polymer Carrier system.

• Polymer SureShell Shotshell Carrier

  SureShell polymer shotshell carrier system, available in a six shell configuration, features shell holders injection molded from glass filled polymer, secured to the receiver by a lightweight aluminum back plate with brass threaded inserts. are assemblies comprising a durable, impact resistant polymer yoke, a light-weight aluminum backing plate and a dual Santoprene® elastomer tube. The yoke features six vertical bores .810” in diameter to accept 12-gauge shotgun shells. The shells are securely retained by an innovative dual rubber friction system that reliably holds shotshells in place. In many cases, shells can be confidently retained in a brass down as well as a brass up configuration, though brass up is most secure.

• Santoprene® Elastomer

  The elastomer used to interfere with the shell bores and thus retain the shells in the SureShell shotshell carrier is made of tough Santoprene thermoplastic. We are required to publish the following message to comply with California’s Proposition 65:

  • Elastomer Stiffnes

    SureShell carriers are assembled at the factory with a black Santoprene elastomer tibe with a shore value, or stiffness, of A64. This has proven to be optimal for most customers and in most situations. However, some customers require a stiffer elastomer and for those operators we have included an alternative white elastomer tube with a shore value of A73. The black elastomer tube can be swapped for the white one if tighter shell retention is required.

• Chicago Screws

  The front trigger pin is replaced by custom Chicago screws instead of a standoff with 12 gauge Remington shotguns.

  Several platforms use custom fasteners called Chicago screws. These are paired male and female fasteners that, when screwed together, meet at their respective shoulders for a precise fit on whatever platform they are made for (each shotgun platform will use different length Chicago screws). Ideally, when they are tightened against each other, they also secure the shell carrier without pinching the receiver. Two hex keys are provided for each screw size. Sometimes it is necessary to screw the fasteners in from both sides simultaneously.

• Adhesive-backed Rubber Gasket

  The adhesive-backed rubber gasket material (not included with Saddle Rails or Saddle Mount SureShell assemblies) can optionally be used to keep the backplate screw heads away from the surface finish of your weapon.
