Sidesaddle for Remington 870 ?

Does anyone make an easy-to-install (no drilling) sidesaddle for the Remington 870 that doesn't require any alteration to the forend?

IIRC the four shot side saddles by Pachmayr and TacStar will fit onto an 870 without having to file down the forend. Drilling isn't required on any sidesaddle for the 870. All you need to do is punch out the trigger group retaining pins and replace them with the sidesaddle screws.

Thanks fellas.

I was at a gun show this weekend, and I only saw the 6-shot versions. I knew from reading this forum that I'd have to chop down the forend to use it. Doesn't seem worth it for only 2 more rounds.

I'll surf around and locate a 4-shot model.
