Front Bead Question
« on: February 16, 2008, 10:42:52 AM »
I have a Super 14, .45 Colt/.410 barrel with the ventilated rib.  I want to replace the front sight bead with a fiber optic sight.  Does anyone know if the front bead is a screw-in type or a tapered, drive in type?

I used to have the 14" and now have the 10". I've removed the rib from the barrel before but haven't ever removed the bead from the rib. Instead of replacing the bead I picked up a magnetic mount Hi-Viz fiber optic that fits the vent rib. Works like a champ and is easy to remove.

Don't mean to high-jack, But I have the same issue. If I remove the vent rib on a 10" is there a set of tru-glo style of sites I can install?

I picked up a set of TruGlo sights that are supposed to be a universal fit for any vent ribbed shotgun (TG950X, Tru-Bead Turkey Xtreme).  This set has the interchangeable 1/4 inch ghost ring rear sight.  I'm thinking these might work.  The rear is an easy install but the front requires that the bead be removed and be replaced with a screw. That's why I asked if it is a screw in type.
