Bought this for my son’s gun and it fits snuggly on it. Don’t have to worry about it coming off or the shells falling out of it.

It fits the worlds most popular shotgun alright at best, but it is honestly more snug than it looks in the middle. With that said, when you look closely at it, it’s definitely not as clean as other higher end brands. So if that bothers you or if you’re looking for something you’ll legitimately use regularly while shooting, I recommend another option. I just need something to keep 5 extra shells close by for my home defense shotgun, which this does.Not sure if I got a bad/old sleeve, but it seems that once you stretch it to get it over the butt, it never fully compresses back to have a tight grip on the stock. At least on the ends.

The holder fits my 12 guage double barrel shotgun, just had to slide it over the barrel to the stock. Works like it is suppose to. Great product for the money.

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

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.

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.

The Allen Company Buttstock Shotgun Shell Holder is a great, affordable, easy way to carry spare ammo on your shotgun.The heavy duty elastic sleeve fits snugly on the shortened buttstock of my Mossberg 590A1. Due to the taper of the stock, the forward edge of the sleeve is visibly looser than the rest, but it looks fine and it clings securely to the stock. (I recommend pulling the sleeve on from the muzzle end, instead of stretching it on from the wider buttstock end, to avoid overstretching the material.) For extra security, I removed the screw-on sling attachment from the buttstock before installing the sleeve, then I made a small hole in the sleeve with an awl and reinstalled the sling attachment. This anchors the sleeve in place so it can't slip forward on recoil. (Be sure to lightly sear the hole with a flame so the sleeve material won't fray or unravel.)The loops for the shells are very secure and they hold 2-3/4" or 3" shells (12-gauge) equally well.I bought this sleeve for two reasons: (1) to store spare ammo on my home defense shotgun, and (2) to counterbalance the weight of my 590A1's relatively heavy barrel so the shotgun handles better. For about $5, this product accomplished both goals very well and it looks fairly nice without the need for any cumbersome or expensive modifications to the firearm. I have no idea how long this sleeve would last "in the field," but kept at home in a cabinet, I'm confident it will provide many, many years of service. And I really do like the balance of the shotgun much better after adding this sleeve and five spare shells of 00 buck. It feels much less front-heavy now.I deducted one star only because a tapered sleeve would improve the cosmetic appearance further and allow it to grip the stock more evenly. I realize, however, that stock taper varies from one manufacturer or model to the next, and that Allen Company is striving to offer a one-size-fits-all product. It's a minor issue, and I even debated whether to deduct a star. For price and functionality, this product is hard to beat.
