Hi,
Where did you purchase that front sight and how did you install it on the vented bbl ?
Thanks.

BTW does someone know if the quality is any good that year ?
It's an 870. Barring the occasional defect (which is inevitable in any large-scale production operation) they're all good. If all its parts are 1988 or newer, you should have the fully-updated flex-tab action, as well.
Thanks for your answer, yes i do have the flex tab conversion (U-shaped cut in the lifter), the extractor is non-MIM and the ejector was replaced under warranty a week ago.
I'm all happy.
