Moss 590 replacement sights - UPDATED

[Onagoth]

I broke the ghost ring sight on my 590.

Any recommendations for a replacement? The receiver is drilled and can accept a rail.

Any ideas/places to buy is helpful.

Thanks

How the Hell did you break a mossberg GRS, the things are built like russian tanks????

You could call TacOrd, I'm sure Casey could help you out.

Any other thoughts?

Anyone use a red dot on their shotgun? Maybe just a cheap tasco?

have a look at Brownells web site,they'll have a few different options for you.

I've got a 590A1 SPX. I just removed the LPA rear sight from the rail and replaced it with a Burris Fastfire II in a Burris picatinny protector mount. The optic is not much bigger than the LPA it replaced. So far I'm liking it a lot. I was worried that the fibre optic front would be distracting in the field of view of the red dot, but the red dot sits just high enough that all I see is the tips of the wings protecting the front sight.

Just noticed that one today....little pricey though.

I tried an Aimpoint clone on my shotgun and so far no issues. Only tried about 20 3" slugs so far. I am really impressed with the quality of these clones. Not sure if they are all just as good. I got mine off the EE and it actually came with a Larue Mount. Here it is on my Roni(please don't make fun of my Roni, I read what you think of them! )....

 

[Onagoth]

what do you guys think of the Truglow reflex sights>?

I'd had a look at them today and they didn't seem that bad

Your going to put a Red Dot on a Shotgun?????????? Blasphemous I say!!!!!!!!

I think Wolverine carries the LPA line of sights.

Just toying around with the idea so far....I'm not exactly of the opinion that the Mossberg ghost rings (or ghost rings in general) are the best sight for a shotgun.

I had actually been thinking of cutting off the top portion of my ghost ring on the shotgun......I actually liked the blade sights that my 870 had better.

It is actually TSE that has the LPA sights, not Wolverine.

LPA blade sights? I couldn't find them on their website

The 870 sights weren't LPA's......I just preferred the Blade type design better, sorry for the confusion!

 

[Onagoth]

I don't think I've ever seen the LPA sights, they sound interesting though, I think I'd prefer a more open rear sight.

I just went to the LPA websight....

The Ghost rings with the Fibre optic inserts are intriguing.....me likes!

That does look pretty decent!

Just trying to dig up the price

 

[Onagoth]

Is there a trick to the taking out the front sight on the 590? seems stuck in there pretty good

Is it that beige epoxy looking stuff on it? If so, likely heat will melt it off! Make sure you video that process, LOL!
