    Default Broked front bead on my 870.

    Almost right after buying it I tried to remove the front bead on a Remmington 870 HD (18.5") barrel. It sheared off and although I was able to drill it out and Drop in a High Vis and locktite it in place I want something better. Does something exist that can be installed without gunsmithing? Im open to all possibilities but dont want optics. Thanks, Brian

    I just took my bead off, It just sat there most of the time anyway mocking me and trying to get my attention and make me miss when I should be looking at the birds.

    Magnectic TruGlo and it works great. Stays on, no matter how fast and hard I rock the shotgun. Very easy and quick to pick up. I was leary of a magnetic sight, but don't be. They work great.
