    Hopefully, any gunsmith. Cost depends on the cost of parts, whether the receiver has already been drilled/tapped or not, and if the front sight is drilled/tapped, soldered, or epoxied on.

    Check brownells for parts pricing and go from there.

    I'd charge you $50 extra if you use the word "shotty".

    Life's journey is not to arrive safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy schit...what a ride"!!

      So would I.

      I did ghost rings on my 870 7 or 8 years ago.
      They came out great.
      Front is soldered on.
      Rear gets drilled and tapped into the receiver.
      870's won't come pre-drilled as there is no standard for where the holes go.
      Each rear sight is different.

        I have Wilson Combat ghost ring sights on my 870. I like them. They definetly make it easier (for me) to group slugs on paper. Like Randall stated, 870's don't come pre-drilled and the rear sight needs to be drilled and tapped into the receiver. I didn't feel comfortable doing myself, so I took it to a gunsmith.
        sigpicIf you loan someone twenty dollars and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
