Shotgun shells were simply not designed to be stacked on top of one another.

Mossberg 590M magazines come in a variety of capacities and range in price from $101 to $140. Remington 870 DM magazines (top) are priced for about $35 and come in 3- and 6-round capacities.

It’s obvious both gun-makers have been working on their respective detachable box mag shotguns for a good while-after all, each model is arguably the flagship shotgun for Remington and Mossberg. After the debut of the Mossberg 590M at SHOT Show this year, both of America’s favorite pump shotguns have firmly embraced the detachable magazine configuration, with the Remington 870 DM having come out a few weeks prior.
