Hi guys. SB1 F10(Pardner Turkey 12 gauge) question.

[buzzkiller]

I was wondering if the front bead sight is a press in or screw in. I see where guys have replaced these with TruGlo sights and I would like to do the same. Also, any suggestions as far as mods for the gun would be appreciated. Thanks.

They screw in 3-56 thread if I remember correctly

a slip on recoil pad or a limbsaver (or similar) would be the first one. recoil with the 3" magnums will get your attention i also added the storarm forearm (the one on the survivor) to mine just cause i perfer that forarm i think it carries better when its slung. great shotgun by the way. by the way when i added a new sight to mine it made mine shoot to a diffrent point of impact so i changed it back to the bead so if you do replace it shoot some targets to see if it shoots diffrent

I change to the TruGlo beads on all my shotguns.  I like the green, it shows up well in low light.

I laid the gun on the dining table under the 240 watts of light.  I kept moving around the table till I got that sheen line to line up straight down the center of the top of the barrel.  Then I kept tweekin the TruGlo till I got it as centered as possible.  Kind of a goofy way to line up the new bead, but it worked and my POI was the same as before.

I put a Limbsaver on my Tracker I 12ga...it really made a difference.  Felt recoil is even less than my 20ga Tracker I with a standard factory recoil pad.  THEY WORK

Did you find one of the Tru-glo front sights?  If not, PM me your address and I'll send you one.  I found it on the clearance rack at Wal-Mart.  It has several different screw sizes.  It is a HIVIZ Spark II Sight, similar to this one with the green pipe.

I found one shortly after I received the replies about the sights. Very kind of you to offer d_hiker. I appreciate it.
