Allen Company Elastic Buttstock Shell Holder

This just works. Just order it. You can't go wrong for the price. It's obviously very affordable, retains the shells nicely and it's just the right size for 2.75in, 3in and 3.5in shells. You can even use it for mini-shells. You can keep two shells in each slot for a total of ten. The shells slide out nicely but they also retain firmly enough that you're not going to ever worry about it dropping a shell. This is a great option for an HD setup so you have 5 extra shells on hand. 2- 00 buck shells, 2- 1oz slugs and a 3in #4 Turkey shell are my picks for the HD setup. Maybe keep the slugs or whatever your preferred primary shell happens to be in the front two slots with the brass pointed down. You'll find it natural to smoothly grab them there and pop them into your tube mag or chamber. The rest of the shells orient the other way. That way I know by feel instantly the type of shell I'm grabbing. Slug or 00 buck. Also you can easily take the shell out from either direction regardless of brass orientation. The rim on the shell doesn't catch or make it too difficult to push/slide out of the retaining loop. All that matters is that you're comfortable and used to it. Get five of the quality aluminum dummy shells/snap caps so you can safely practice using the holder. Plus it's just nice having them to practice reloading, breaking in a new shotty, ensuring your shotgun is loading and dry cycling shells reliably. These fit factory 870 stocks perfectly. They fit just about everything nicely. It fits various turkish shotguns as well. All of my buddies/family have these for the most part. Great for a deer or duck hunting setup. If you have a sling stud you can just slide it right over it if you don't want to use it or very carefully make a very tiny slit with an exacto knife/razor blade so the stud can poke through. That's what I have done severe times

Perfect fit

I'm not sure on this, it is a bit slippery on the stock, but nothing a small bit of double sided tape will not fix. It was a fair bit to install over the read pad but then after it was on was a bit loose at the front, again, an easy fix but just not 100%. it holds the 5 shells fine so far, only time will tell if they become loose but to start are pretty good. It was cheap and I will keep it and like its function new, lets see what time says.

I got this mostly for looks as I plan to use a rifle for a show I am filming and I wanted to have spares on the stock for added effect. (Rifle will fire blanks for the show). I was a little hesitant to buy it as the rifle is actually chambered in .223 but as it is television I planned to slap a larger round in this holder because the audience won't be able to tell (Remington 700, they all look basically the same.) Well I got it and just out of curiosity I slapped some .223 in it and they fit perfectly. As this is a real functioning rifle that I actually shoot privately I was quite pleased to see that even this small round will stay in place. The .308 rounds also fit in it very well as do 6.5MM Carcano rounds. (I haven't decided which I want to use for the production, leaning towards the .308 since the rifle can actually be chambered for that.) As for the fit, it was a bit of a struggle to get it on but that was mostly because I didn't feel like removing the scope and sliding it down the barrel and over the action which I would imagine would be way easier than what I did. I slid it on over the back of the stock and it worked out well but it took a few minutes to get it in place. It fits snug and actually form fit to the shape of the stock so you don't lose anything. It is also really easy to retrieve rounds from. The .223 are a little small but they don't fall out and they are still easy to get a grip on. This thing may only cost a few bucks but it is probably the best you could ever ask for.

Easy to put on, and has 5 shell storage. If you can hit your mark with 5 in the tube and 5 on the stock, pick another hobby! Weightless simple design good quality stretchy fabric! Comfort and quality! Just order one and quit scrolling!

I ordered this product on a Friday afternoon, and it arrived Monday morning at around 10am. Normal shipping, normal rates. I couldn't believe it. Way to go Amazon! I actually did not get my hands on it until Tuesday, because whoever packed it managed to fit it and another larger product into a box small enough to actually fit in my mailbox. I didn't think to look there during my search! I expected something larger dropped at my door. I was very pleased with the speed and efficiency of the packaging and shipping process. The product itself is exactly what it looks like in the pictures, no more, no less. Construction seems rugged. I don't think it will fall apart on me. I have not had a chance to field test it for whether it stays in place during shooting, how easy it is to retrieve and load shells, etc. Here is my guess: it may slip during shooting. Nothing holds it in place except pressure, and shooting is, by nature, a violent affair. A simple strip of black duck tape (duct tape, whatever)would probably hold it in pace admirably. Duct tape fixes everything. Or, if you are the appearance-oriented type, perhaps a piece of that no-slip stuff for shelving? Stick a little of that under there to help it not slip. Velcro is a third option. At minimum, this product is useful for having a few extra shells with you when you go sneaking around your house at night looking for the source of that noise. Really, it's hard to go wrong with this one for the money. It can act as a backup for your fancier shell holders should things go amiss. Next time you're ordering something anyway, tack it on.

I have an Allen buttstock shell holder on my grandfather's .410 single-shot and it fits perfectly and holds about eight shells. I ordered this one for a Remington 870 Express 12-guage shotgun, but it didn't fit well and kept slipping forward toward the receiver of the shotgun. I gave the Allen holder to a friend who used it on a different model shotgun. I purchased a TacStar side-saddle for my 870, which required a slight modification to the gun's forend, but works well and holds six shells. Since the magazine on this shotgun holds three shells and I keep one in the chamber, ten shots is more than adequate for my needs. The Allen buttstock holders are decent, inexpensive means to hold extra shells, but you need to be certain that the one you order fits the gun on which you wish to place it. I expect that I could have returned or exchanged to one I bought, but I was happy to give it to my friend who loaned me the tools to modify my 870. I will likely order again from Allen.

Fits and holds shells.

as described

Das Etui passt und hält was es verspricht. Die Schaftführung an der Flinte wird nicht beeinträchtigt. Schnelles Nachladen der BDF ist garantiert. Danke an das Wolfs Depot für die reibungslose Kaufabwicklung.

works great on Turkish 12ga colnes like Churchill

Buen producto, se ve resistente, sin embargo se desliza hacia la parte más delgada y hay que estarlo acomodando.

A good match which compliments my Franchi Affinity shotgun without having to make cut outs in the shell holder to accommodate the shoulder sling swivel.
