I have a Mossy 500 security 7+1 12 gauge, how do I put ghost ring sights on it?

Might be a good idea to post this question in the gunsmithing forum?

first you need to find what set of sights you need. do you want standard sight? or enhanced, such as tritium or fiber optic?

here is a decent tritium set, which you will have to get a gunsmith install for you.

or you can get a basic set from mossberg, which is fine by all accounts.

the installation can be done by you or a gunsmith. silver soldering might be required depending on the kit. call your local gunsmith and inquire about the price. they might be able to order the sights for you too

If you're going to do it get tritium night sights. I tried ghost ring sights before, a seperate shotgun that had just a bead. I performed better with the bead...much to my surprise. But I can certainly understand why you want them. They're so darn cool...and the military uses them on theirs...and so many people swear by them. So it was probably just me.

Sadly I am out of stock.

strange. what do you mean performed better? acquired sight picture quicker, better luck with accuracy?

is this what the on target sight picture is supposed to look like? you should be hitting "center" of the stripe, or aiming center of the stripe?
