.410 Sights

You'd have to drill/tap the receiver, either for a top mount or side mount sight. Like a Lyman peep. They night not batch the height of the front bead...

Why sights on a .410?

[SoCalFed]

I was told by a gunsmith that the metal thickness was not enough to drill. He said the pressure might cause a catastrophic failure. The sights would mainly be for shooting slugs. I want my boys to understand aiming. With only a small front bead they really dont have anything to reference. Thanks for the reply.

I don't think a shotgun would be the best tool to teach sight picture and sight alignment with, even a .410. There are plenty of good .22's that would probably be better suited to the job, and they are generally cheaper to shoot, unless you reload for the .410.

^^^^^ I have to argree...22's and I would not add a scope until open sights are mastered. Check your local gun shop for a used 22.

Its a ROSSI youth .22/.410 combo. I will start with the .22 and work up to the .410 later.

Yeah, the .22 is great to start with.
As for the .410...
...If you have a friendly farmer's field,
one of those hand trap throwers cost about
$20 to $40. Lots of fun to shoot air targets!
They also make one that throws tin cans instead
of clay targets (don't make as much of a mess
on the ground).
