Description
Running a Midwest Industries shotgun stock and wishing you had a few more rounds within reach? This 5-shell holder plate mounts straight to the MI Shotgun Stock series and keeps five extra 12 gauge shells right where your support hand can grab them. It's a clean way to add onboard capacity without hanging a bulky side saddle off the receiver, and it weighs in at a hair under four ounces so it won't throw off the balance of your gun.
What Makes the MI Shotgun Stock Shell Holder Plate Tick
The mounting plate is machined from 6061 aluminum with a hard coat anodized finish, then skeletonized to trim weight while holding its shape. The shell carrier itself is built from reinforced polymer with enough tension to grip your shells snugly and keep them seated through the pounding a 12 gauge dishes out. Everything is made in the USA, and the black finish blends right in with the rest of a blacked-out setup.
Getting the Shell Holder Plate Mounted
Installation is straightforward and bolts directly to a compatible Midwest Industries stock, so there's no gunsmithing required to get your spare rounds onboard. Owners running the MI stock on their Beretta 1301 have noted the plate holds all five shells securely and feels like a natural extension of the stock. It's a popular pairing with the 1301, 870, Mossberg 590, and other guns the MI stock series fits.
Who Gets the Most Out of It
Whether you're running drills at the range, working through a training class, or heading out for a day in the field, having five extra rounds staged on the stock means faster top-offs and fewer trips to a chest rig or pocket. If you've already committed to a Midwest Industries stock, this plate is one of the easier upgrades to justify. Just keep in mind it's built specifically for MI stocks and won't fit other manufacturers' hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shotguns does the shell holder plate work with?
The plate is built to bolt onto the Midwest Industries Shotgun Stock series, which fits models like the Beretta 1301, Remington 870, and Mossberg 590. It attaches to the MI stock rather than the shotgun itself, so you'll need one of their stocks already installed. It is not compatible with other manufacturers' stocks or hardware.
How many shells does it hold and what gauge?
The carrier holds five 12 gauge shells. The reinforced polymer keeps them seated with enough tension to survive the recoil of a 12 gauge, so they stay put until you pull them.
Is the shell holder plate hard to install?
Not at all. It mounts directly to a compatible Midwest Industries stock and doesn't require a gunsmith to set up. Most owners have it on and ready in a few minutes with basic tools.
How much weight does it add to the shotgun?
The plate and carrier come in at about 3.8 ounces empty thanks to the skeletonized aluminum design. Add five shells and it's still light enough that it won't noticeably change how the gun balances or shoulders.
