870 Youth Front Sight Question

[Zef]

Hi,
We have an 870 20ga youth model we purchased new back in 2008. It came with a small green fiber optic type front sight instead of a bead mounted to the vented rib. Could anyone please advise if this is pressed in or screwed in?

Thanks,
-Zef

Follow-up:

This morning I called RemArms, the company that purchased Remington when they went bankrupt a few years ago.

The customer service specialist I spoke with advised that based on the age of my shotgun, the front bead/site is screwed on.

A few seconds with a 5/32" ignition wrench had it unscrewed from the vented rib.

I can now install the ghost ring setup I purchased, and get sighted in for deer hunting.

Great! Glad you got it figured out.

Thanks also for coming back and posting a resolution, even though we didn't help.
