870 Replacement Sights

[GutPunch]

Guys,

Is it possible to replace the factory bead sight on a remington with something that is a different color or maybe a night sight bead? I've got a 870 Tactical but the black bead makes it hard seperate the sight from the barrel if you have a darker target area.

I checked Remington's website but they didn't appear to have replacement sights.

Thanks!

XS sights makes a tritium piece that epoxies on top of the existing bead.

Truglo also makes some fiber optic pieces that just sort of snap onto the barrel as well. Not very polished looking, but they work.

GutPunch,

look at the tutorials on my signature below.

HiViz also makes magnetized ones that clip-on BEHIND your existing front bead sight, and can be used without a rear sight. (Front sight only).

The XS Big Dot will go right over the pressed on bead of your 870 barrel. Simply place the sight on the ramp and trace around it with a pencil. Remove it then scrape all the finish off inside the pencil marks. Take some and paper and remove the finish off the bottom of the Big dot. this way you are bonding bare metal to bare metal and not finish to finish. Use loc-tit Black Max sight adhesive clamp the sight over night and your ready to rock.

I have install many like this and none have come off and these have been on duty wepaon getting banged up in and out of cars every shift.
