night sights

Post by paully33 »

Fellas

Well after getting schooled by zebra and optimizer with the discussion of differences of barrels on 870 tacticals, which again i cannot thank you enough. Anyway ordered my barrel with the tactical choke and rifled sights. I got it in this week and boom perfect fit. Well I went ahead and ordered the trijicon ameriglo night sights from the write up here. Front sight seems pretty straight forward, rear sight wanted to get opinions on. Since my receiver is not drilled/tapped, is that the best way to go, for install? Or if I put a small rail on it use a ramp to mount to rail? I have not got them in yet so did not know if they come with ramp, or does it matter much which ramp is used. I know stupid questions but since I am new to this I wanted to get opinions from folks who are crazy good at this stuff and buy good quality equipment for this s HD build.

Quick question, do you have barrel with rifle sights:

or bead sight barrel:

In first case, you can install rear sight on existing base.
