Ugly but semi-functional.

What I mean by that title is that I have Jerry-rigged a shotshell carrier (the stretch ones that you put on the stock and holds five rounds) to hold 10 rounds on my Mossberg 590A1. On top of that I thought of adding a tacstar side-saddle to hold an additional 6 rounds. WIth that, I will have almost used an entire box of my S&B Buckshot (comes in boxes of 25) to feed my shotgun fully.

What I did was I cut off the shell holding part on one of the stock sleeve and used a soldering iron to burn it onto the other one. THen after the material appeared to have dried/cooled down, I used airplane glue along the entire perimeter of it to ensure a seal that would be next to impossible to remove through water and other weather conditions. I need to patch it up a little because I didn't think when I was reinstalling it on the stock and a corner got a little torn.

Other than that it just takes some adjusting to shoulder the shotgun and get a good stockweld (though I overcame this by putting the rounds on the left business end up).

I'd share pics if I had a camera, but it seems kind of interesting, what If I got a bandoleer as well, I'd be a walking ammo crate of shotshells, eh?
