UTG pro aluminum rail

Post by 1961Willyswagon »

Pleasantly surprised of the good fortune in finding the replacement scope rail. My '98 870 express tactical was born with the XS sights ghost ring rail. I had replaced the front sight, the XS white dot in the dovetail ramp,with the Williams firesight fiber optic keeping the same height as the XS. That height is 0.344" from the bottom of the dovetail to the top of the sight. The ghost ring aperature was not able to go low enough to correlate with the laser @ 25yrds. The "trough" milled into the length of the UTG pro rail solves that giving you a rear sight for use with slug applications. The hole spacing is for the OEM drilled and tapped 6-48 holes ONLY. if you have custom drilled and tapped holes,this may or may not work as the factory holes have an odd spacing. I'm only speaking for the factory spacing to fit though. UTG pro rail is MADE IN AMERICA, and I'm extremely happy with it,so I CAN recommend it! :D
