Any of you ever tried a bead sight like the one Tim posted the link for....with a Tracker rear sight. Just think out loud...Leo's Camp/Predator gun sounds like what I have wanted to do, but I would really like to have sights on it and I was thinking of maybe starting with a 12ga Tracker I and just loppin' it off to 18 1/2 or 19 inches and replacing the front sight Would you have any adjustment or is that front sight too short?  I even wondered if maybe a tall front bead from a 410 could be used.  Like I said, Just thinkin' out loud.
Will the factory just sell you a set of Tracker sights?  I already have a 22" 12ga barrel that coud be used for this project.

If you want to use the same threading as the original factory bead, buy a 3-56 kit.
