Need gunsmith to install side saddle?

[sunnyside]

Want to install a side saddle for my Rem 870 HD, just wondering if I need the gunsmith to do it? Can you guys recommend a brand to me please?

thanks!

its very easy to do, you can do it yourself, I think its just a matter of one screw

But I checked my shotgun, the one on the side looks like a pin but not a screw.

If I remembere correctly - take the pin out, insert longer screw with side saddle, follow the instructions

knock the side pins out and then thread the screws in their place.

Try a Millet Saddle Mount.

Easy to install ... drive out the two trigger group pins, slide the saddle over the receiver, align the holes, and use the two screws furnished ( allen head wrench provided ) to replace the trigger group pins. Takes about 3 minutes. From there, use standard Weaver type rings ... I would recommend the Millet "Angle Loc" (windage adjustment type) rings however, ... about $10 to $ 15 more than Weavers, but a much nicer looking installation.

Thank you, guys. I will give it a try.

TacStar one involves replacing the 2 pins with screws (as mentioned above).

Keep in mind, that if you have a 6 round SS, you will likely need to modify the forend, or buy a short 'police' model one. The stock one is too long, and will not allow you to rack the slide with the sidesaddle in place.
