kmaccullough Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I just bought the Nova Tactical this weekend and I'm already looking for accessories. I have already ordered the +2 magazine extension taking my total capacity to 6+1. My question is where can I find a 6 shell side saddle for this shotgun? I've found the 4 shell, but why would you want that if you're magazine can hold 6? If anyone knows where I can find a 6 shell side saddle, with or without a sight rail, please reply. Thanks, Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmaccullough Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thanks. I did find that one, but it specifically mentions "SuperNova" over and over. All of the other ones that I've seen say "SuperNova and Nova", so I'm just wondering if it is compatible for both. I guess I'll have to send the company an email.

Rezarf Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 You would need to drill and tap a Nova. The SN comes already tapped for the m4 metric bolts that hold that sucker on. It is a nice unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmaccullough Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) I'm seeing that the only side saddles people are using are 4 rounders. It appears the slide goes too far back to allow a 6 round. I'm still curious though which ones people are using and if there are any modifications that need to be made to accommodate the saddle. I'm not really interested in any drilling, and I can always carry them on the stock I guess. I found this one that looks awesome. Also wondering if anyone knows where to find a 4 round saddle + sight rail? haven't seen that for the Nova yet. I have seen a few like the one pictured below with a red dot and wondering how the mount for the rail works there too. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/14/14839143_6a9297053f.jpg If anyone knows any good dealers for said products or prices, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Edited June 2, 2010 by kmaccullough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona98tj Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 A 6 round will fit assuming someone designs it properly. Yes, I know it is on a SN, but I do believe the action on the Nova is the same length, as is the forearm, etc. This photo is with the action open.

KB Fab Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I have a Mesa Tactical 6 shell on my SN. No problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotgunNoob Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) Personally, I do not prefer the 6 shell sidesaddle; its a balance/weight thing for me. Hence, I generally prefer the 4 shell configuration (I used the Mesa Tactical for a while). Of course, after a bit of trial and error, I went with a butt stock mounted carrier (Mesa Tactical 4 shell). The only downside is, you need to have the SteadyGrip stock in order to use this particular item. Luckily, this is my stock of choice.

Rezarf Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 KB FAB- What rear sight, and front sight are you running? It doesn't look like the factory LPA I am used to. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
