Description
When your Benelli M4 runs dry, the last thing you want is to go digging through a pocket or pouch for more shells. The GG&G 6-Shot Side Saddle puts six spare 12-gauge rounds right on the receiver where your hand naturally reaches, so topping off the tube or dropping one into the chamber becomes second nature. The whole thing is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and wears a Type III hard coat anodized black finish, which is the same grade of anodizing built to shrug off scrapes, moisture, and general abuse at the range or in the field.
What the 15-Degree Angle Does for Your Reloads
GG&G indexes the shells at a 15-degree cant rather than straight up and down, and there's a real reason for it. That angle matches the way your hand comes across the gun, so grabbing a shell and feeding it into the magazine tube or over the top into the chamber feels smooth instead of fumbly. You can load the shells base up or base down depending on how you like to run your reloads, so the saddle adapts to your style rather than forcing you into one method.
How the GG&G M4 Side Saddle Holds Your Shells
Instead of the hollow rubber tube retainers a lot of side saddles use, GG&G went with a solid rubber shell retainer built to a specified durometer. In plain terms, that means the rubber holds its shape and grip over time instead of loosening up from heat and pressure, so your shells stay put and don't rattle loose. The retention system is oil resistant and replaceable too, which is a nice touch if you ever want to freshen it up down the road.
Bolting It On Without Marking Up Your Receiver
Installation is straightforward and needs no permanent changes to the gun. The saddle mounts at two points using the included hardware, running through the trigger group pin hole up front and to a supplied receiver end plate that slips in between the back of the receiver and the stock. A non-marring backing plate sits against the receiver so the finish on your M4 stays clean. One thing to note: this model is built for the standard fixed-stock Benelli M4 and does not fit guns set up with the factory collapsible stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this GG&G side saddle fit my Benelli M4 with the collapsible stock?
No, this model is made for the standard fixed-stock Benelli M4 and does not fit guns equipped with the factory collapsible stock. The rear mount relies on a receiver end plate that seats between the back of the receiver and the stock, which is why the collapsible setup won't work with it. If you're running a collapsible stock, you'll want to look at a different mounting solution.
How does the Benelli M4 side saddle attach to the gun?
It mounts at two points using the included hardware. The front attaches through the trigger group pin hole, and the rear uses a GG&G supplied receiver end plate that installs between the receiver and the stock. No drilling, tapping, or permanent modifications are needed, and a non-marring backing plate keeps the receiver finish protected.
Do the shells stay tight in this side saddle over time?
They do. GG&G uses a solid rubber shell retainer built to a specified durometer instead of the hollow tube style found on many competitors. That solid design holds its shape and grip even with heat and repeated use, so your shells stay locked in rather than working loose.
Can I load the shells base up or base down?
Yes, the saddle lets you carry shells in either orientation depending on how you prefer to reload. Some folks run base down for feeding the magazine tube while others go base up for topping the chamber. It's built to fit your reloading style rather than lock you into one way.
