Removing sights
« on: February 06, 2008, 09:04:56 AM »
I have a Remington 870 Express 20 ga. slug barrel with sights on the barrel. They appear to be pressed or soldered on. Is there an easy way to remove these sights? Thanks.

Its likely the sights are induction welded onto the barrel. This is not an easy thing to remove. That's guess since I don't have one to look at here but call Reminton customer service and ask. Why do you wish the sights off.

if you do not like the sights on the slug bbl and want to shoot std shotgun shells out of it, imo, the best plan of attack would be to just get a diffrent bbl, maybe someone would want to do a trade even??
