Hey guys, I have a nice 14" Remington barrel with the pedestal raise front bead. I've been looking around for something that suits me better, I don't want a ghost right and my other 18.5" barrel has some nice iron sights on it. I see brownells has all I need for a ramped front sight but I just can't seem to find the rear sight. Any insight into this gents?
 
Well, the cost to buy the parts and have them installed might be prohibitive, and the sight radius on a 14" barrel with rifle sights is going to be about 8"?

If you want to do it you might need to order a rear sight assembly: www. gunpartscorp.com/ad/90750.htm

Or try calling western gun parts, not my favorite people to deal with but they probably have one.
 
My 14 inch barrel has XS sights low profile rifle sights on it. They are very nice. I bought the barrel used (for a huge sum of money I might add) but I'm pretty sure they were factory installed. You should be able to buy the same sights from XS sights and have them installed by a smith.

They are always listed on Gun Broker. I imported 2 batches thru IRG when the Cdn dollar was closer to par with the USD. I think Clay at Prophet River offers very inexpensive fees for importing a barrel that may make a one off import feasible. AI&P Tactical is the vendor selling most of the new Remington 14" barrels on GB, you can also contact them directly and avoid GB if you prefer.

Here is the AI&P 14" barrel listing from their website:
14" bead sight parkerized $172
14" bead sight Wingmaster high luster Blue $172
14" Rifle sight parkerzied $172
14" XS Low Profile sights (none Tritium) $182
14" XS Low Profile with Tritium From Sight $220
14" With Trijicon Rifle Sights $228
14" Marine Nickel has only a Front Sight and it is
Trijicon Tritium $190

Excellent!

Thank you very much!

I wonder if same vendor might have 14in barrel with iron sights for Mossberg... they just might.


Cheers,

I checked their website, you are right on that!

I'll grab their 870 barrel, now I am on the lookout for Mossberg 14in barrel with rifle sights.
 
Brownells will sell you a Mossberg ghost ring sight kit, if that isn't too sacrilegious.
It'll need to be installed by a gunsmith, and the barrel refinished. TacOrd did mine.
