Too much ammunition, it’s a problem most shooters wished they had. This especially goes for owners of the VERSA MAX Shotgun.
Remington’s newest edition to its catalog of semi-automatic smoothbores is specifically designed to chew through shells – no matter their size. And Mesa Tactical’s latest product is specifically designed to keep the hungry shotgun well fed.
The Costa Mesa, Calif., designer and manufacturer recently expanded its SureShell Shotshell Carrier and Rail System to include the Remington VERSA MAX Shotgun. The side mount carrier system allows for an extra four, six or eight shells to be toted along and within quick reach.
The SureShell Shotshell Carriers are machined from aircraft aluminum and features a replacement anodized aluminum Picatinny optics rail which supports mounting points for optics, and lasers. Presently, only the VERSA MAX Tactical edition comes standard with a Picatinny rail.
Whether used for tactical operations, home defense or competition, owners of this new platform will have the ability to carry more ammunition “at the ready”, while the integrated rail system allows for further customization.
SureShell carriers work well in all climates and environments, and are capable of withstanding the daily use and abuse which arsenal weapons are commonly subjected. Like Mesa Tactical’s other systems, the new VERSA MAX model is made from 6061-T6 aluminum, hard coat anodized matte black and uses a rubber friction retention system.
In addition to the Remington VERSA MAX, SureShell Shotshell Carriers are also available for a variety of other popular shotgun models including the Remington 870, Remington semi-automatics, Mossberg 500, Mossberg 590, Mossberg 930, FN SLP, Kel-Tec KSG, Benelli M1, M2, M3, M4 and Benelli SuperNova.
