I've been considering adding a sidesaddle to my Mossy 500, but I don't particularly like the idea of screwing the sidesaddle into the receiver, I don't like making non-reversible destructive modifications to my guns
So, I got to thinking...
I have a small pile of Neodymium magnets that I've scavenged from hard drives, small, thin, and incredibly powerful, I grabbed one and stuck it to the side of my 500's receiver in numerous spots, there were plenty of magnetic attachment points (the internal steel parts of the receiver)
So, I imagine that if I got a tube of epoxy, and a plastic sheet (to prevent the magnets marring the finish on the receiver)and a few Neodymium magnets, I could build a *magnetic* sidesaddle mount, easily removable and with no permanent mods required
