The last
thing you want to do is lose your shotgun shells from their holder. Those extra
rounds are important and you don’t want to risk accidentally losing them. If
they don’t fit snugly in their holder, there’s a chance they may fall out and
not be there when they are needed. There is a simple and low cost solution to
this problem.
While
elastic butt cuffs don’t normally experience this problem, the hard plastic
shell carriers that are often used on collapsible gun stocks may create a
problem if you want to make sure your extra shotgun shells are secure. The
plastic cases on your shotgun shells when combined with a plastic shotshell
holder can be a slippery situation.
All you
need to solve this problem is a package of Velcro fasteners. A small package of
these fasteners cost approximately a dollar and will help solve the problem of
keeping your shells secured in the shotshell holder on your shotgun.
The package
comes with two different types of fasteners. The loop kind and the fuzzy kind
in small squares that don’t require you to do any further modifications. They've got sticky stuff on the backside and all
you need for this gear mod are the fuzzy patches.
Just strip
the plastic backing off the fuzzy patches and attach them directly to the
inside of the individual shotshell holders. Your shells are still easy to get
out and will remain snug in the holder. This is an inexpensive and simple gear
mod for your shotshell holder.

My shells weren't as secure as I thought they should be. I was looking for a quick and easy fix...stuck some fuzzy patches in the holder and now my shells are lot more secure in their holder.
Thanks anon.
