The MO door brackets were made for a PR-24. But some Troopers have told me they shoved their Remington 870's into them!

Take a look at the mounting holes on driver's door of my CSP ...
It's got 5 mounting holes for something ???
I have seen pics of older ssp's that had a shotgun mounted there ???
my paper work states this car had a shotgun mounted .
any ideas ???? the length of the holes is too long for a club i think ??
it measures 28" from the 1st to last hole .

Mr Drama , is your driver panel on the CSP the same way ? any ideas ?

The mounting holes on your door were for an in-house-fabbed shotgun shell holder. I know it sounds weird, but CSP screwed them into the door (webbed material with elastic for the shells). I have an email somewhere from the trooper that drove my '83 describing it, but I have no idea how long they were or how many shells they held. My '83, which is still original down to the paint, has the same holes in the door panel.

You should have several holes on the top of the rear driveshaft hump. This is where the shotgun rack was mounted. The shotguns were Remington 870s with foldding stocks, and they were stored with the stocks folded up. The Trooper that drove my car described that as well, and I'm sure his memory was correct; he killed a suspect while driving my car with his shotgun.
