Brownell's has lots of options. I am not sure about in Canada. Add some thread lock when you do end up reinstalling one.
I know this is a bit late, but don't Mossberg 590a1's have a 10yr warranty? At least that's what I remember for mine. I'd call Mossberg to see if they can ship a replacement under warranty. I had the exact same thing happen to my 590a1. Luckily I watched it drop into the grass while I was shooting, so I was able to recover it, otherwise, I would have called Mossberg.
As I remember with my three 590a1's, they had super crappy small front "tiny" beads, I changed all mine out to brownells big bead, two silver and one gold, easy to do, drill a bigger hole, tap it, screw in the new bead , brownells sells a kit, makes a big difference

If it's a bead sight you're replacing , have a look at Marble Arms Tritium Shotgun Sight from Brownells , you'll want the 5x40 one , I believe that's the correct thread for a Mossberg , been a long time since I got mine .
That's true, I guess it would depend on the model. Mine is the Blackwater edition and has a "post" front sight (best way to describe it) and a ghost ring rear. It has a small allen screw in the front that holds the front sight in place, well, my screw backed out and the sight popped off. That was one of the issues I've read and have experienced with Mossberg, they don't like to use thread lock. Many screws will just start to back out after use. After the front sight dropped off, I retightened all the screws with a bit of thread lock. All good after a couple years and a few hundred rounds.
