Folding Rifle Sights on a Shotgun??

[Cookiemann]

Has anyone out there ever tried using Folding Rear Sights on a shotgun?  I might as well explore some options if I am gonna have sights monted on a shotgun barrel.  You think they would work?

 Dear Cookieman:
 They sure would work! But who supplies them, and how would they be mounted? Could they be sweat on? Lotsa possibilities there! Woodbutcher

Never knew that about the Mossy's.  As far as which ones, I would think any brand would work.  I would be partial to a set that I could get the One Ragged Hole kit for.  The method of mounting would depend on whether the barrel could be D&T'd.  If not, someone had mentioned using JBweld or the epoxy that Polychoke uses for attaching add-on vent ribs.  Both have been said to work and hold up just fine to the recoil of shotgun use.  I would like to just get my hands on a couple sets REALLY CHEAP to play with and see what would work.
