The TacStar 6-round shotshell carrier with raised Picatinny rail is a field-proven way to keep extra ammunition within arm's reach on your Remington 870, 1100, or 11-87. This side-mounted aluminum carrier clamps to both sides of the receiver without requiring a gunsmith, making it a practical upgrade for home defense, tactical training, or hunting scenarios where you need quick access to reserve rounds. The anodized finish resists glare and corrosion, and the low-profile design stays out of your way while you shoot.
What sets this carrier apart is the raised Picatinny rail machined into the top, which lets you mount optics, lights, or other accessories without sacrificing your shotgun's native bead sight. You get genuine mounting real estate and a functional ammunition reservoir in one piece—six shells staged and secure, ready when you need them. The aluminum construction keeps weight down, and the rigid mounting means zero wobble once it's clamped on.
Installation is straightforward: clamp it to your receiver, load your shells, and go. It's the kind of upgrade that makes sense whether you're setting up a home-defense shotgun, running drills at the range, or preparing a hunting gun for situations where you can't afford to stop and reload. No permanent modifications, no special tools, and it works right out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this work with my Remington 870, 1100, or 11-87?
Yes. The TacStar carrier is designed to clamp directly to the receiver of these three Remington models. It requires no modifications or gunsmith work.
Can I still use my shotgun's bead sight with the Picatinny rail installed?
Yes. The rail is raised specifically to sit high enough so that your shotgun's bead sight remains unobstructed for aiming.
Does this require permanent modifications to my shotgun?
No. The carrier clamps onto the receiver and can be removed without leaving marks or requiring any gunsmith modifications.
What kind of accessories can I mount to the Picatinny rail?
The Picatinny rail accepts any standard Picatinny-mounted accessory, such as optics, lights, or other tactical gear designed for that rail system.
