mossberg 590a1 ghost ring frontsight

[MASTERLAB]

This may sound strange, but I HATE the ghost ring sights on my 590a1. So I'm looking to change them.

Can anyone give insight into what is involved with removing the front sight?

[geoint]

my 590A1 only came with a little bead front sight. Im kinda jealous.

if you remove the ramp/front sight you will have to refinish the barrel.
I would just go and buy a new bead barrel or trade for your rear sight and ramp sight barrel.

I have a 590A1 also. It's the rear sight that sucks, very hard to adjust. Is there a replacement rear sight that would work with the existing front?

Get a bead sight. And remove every other sight installed. I'm not a gun smith so not sure what's involved. Drilling/tapping hole maybe?

I think the ghost ring or actual taller sights look better, but just a plain bead up front is quicker and easier to use.

My 590a1 us service model came with nothing in the rear and a tiny bead up front I like it so much better then my 930 spx that uses the ghost rings. Anoyying to aim with. But that's just my .2 cents

I think the best way to go about this is to do a trade with some one who wants the ghost ring sights. That way everyone gets what they want.

I have one to trade. Pm sent.

I bought the basic 590A1 with heavy 18" bead sight barrel the GI's and Marines carried in Iraq and Afghanistan and am very pleased.

I feel a potential trade in the making
