Remington saddle rails

Mesa Tactical Saddle Rails comprise 6061-T6 aluminum brackets that wrap around the top of the shotgun receiver. The factory trigger pins are replaced by internally thread steel pins, to which both sides of the saddle rail is securely bolted. The saddle rail is Type III anodized for a rugged surface finish.

The Mesa Tactical Saddle Rail is specially contoured to allow operation of a semi-automatic bolt on the right side of the receiver, so it can be installed on Remington 1100 and Remington 11-87 semi-auto shotguns as well as Remington 870 pump shotguns.

No fitting or gunsmithing is required to install.

Mossberg rails

Mossberg rails attach directly to the receivers of late-model (1997 and later) Mossberg shotguns with pre-tapped holes. These rails can only be fitted to later-model Mossberg featuring factory tapped holes in the receiver.

Standard profile rails are for general purpose optics mounting applications. These rails adhere to the minimum height requirement of the MIL-STD-1913 specification, and should not be used for mounting optics with the High-tube telescoping stock adapters.

Tall Profile rails are only for use with Mesa Tactical telescoping stock adapters. These rails allow easy access to the Mossberg safety switch.

These rails can be installed on other shotguns by tapping the top of the shotgun receiver with #8-40 UNS threads. Consult a gunsmith.

Adapter Mount Picatinny Rails

Adapter Mount Picatinny Rails fasten to the accessory mount points on the sides of Mesa Tactical High-tube and Low-tube telescoping stock adapters, not on the shotgun receiver. The can also be used with the new barrel and magazine clamps, which feature the same mounting hole patters as our stock adapters.

Standard profile rails like the Stubby adhere to the minimum height requirement of the MIL-STD-1913 specification, and should not be used for mounting optics with the High-tube telescoping stock adapters.

The following standard profile rails feature attachment points along the length of the Picatinny rail.

Tall profile rails are designed to mount optics for use with High-tube telescoping stock adapters, or to mount accessories slightly away from the receiver when fastened to the telescoping stock adapter side accessory mount points. When used for optics, the elevation of the tall profile rails is similar to that of a flat top AR-15.

The following tall profile rails feature attachment points along the length of the Picatinny rail.

Adapter Mount Saddle Rails

Mesa Tactical adapter mount saddle rails are secured to both sides of a telescoping stock adapter, cantilevering forward over the receiver. They provide a convenient means of attaching a Picatinny sight rail to shotguns equipped with our Low-tube telescoping stock adapters; or, for High-tube adapter shotguns, an alternative to the sight rail screwed into the top of the adapter. No alterations to the shotgun receiver are required.

Designed for zero magnification optics such as red dot scopes, the cantilevered saddle rails can vibrate slightly and may be unsuitable for high magnification rifle scopes.

The rails can be fitted onto Remington 870s with Low-tube adapters and Wilson Combat ghost ring sights, allowing the iron sights to act as back-up for a scope.

Note** There are different part numbers for each style of telescoping stock adapter. The adapter mount saddle rail for High Tube adapters can also install on Low-Tube 20ga Remington 870s.
