Winchester Model 1200 front sight

[whtl]

Can anybody tell me what is the dimension or size is on my Winchester Model 1200 Shotgun front sight? Thanks.

Are you talking about the diameter and thread pitch?

Height and Diameter. Looking to put an XS sight on top of the front bead sight.

The XS needs a .125-.140 diameter bead sight.(Brownell's #6 front bead sight in 3x56 pitch). Win's came with that pitch:

I don't have a 1200 but one of my earlier 1300's has a small .125x3/56 bead. That's a small bead and fits into Brownell's specs.

A word of caution if you have to replace the bead. If it's .125 diameter brass it might break off at the head when you try to remove. Penetrating oil might help.

XS tells me the Big Dot Tritium sight will fit on top of the Winchester bead sight, thats why I wanted to know what the size was. The Winchester 1300 sounds like the bead sight is almost the same. I'll have to see what kinda return policy they have. Thanks for your help.
