my front sight fell off... (rem. 870 with 20" barrel and rifle sights)

[triple tap]

hey i got a remington 870 "deer gun" and when shooting the front sight fell off... i cant find it anywhere and i just got a quote from a guy that it will be 150 bucks to fix... that cant be right... its about the same if not cheaper to get a new barrel with new sights on it... anyone know a place to get a new front sight thats not half of what i paid for the gun? lol...

Front sight or front sight and ramp?
Ramp was brazed on?
Another ramp can be installed, and front sight fitted to it.
A replacement ramp and sight could run $50, and then there is installation.
If you can't do it yourself, you are going to have to arrange for someone else to do it.

That's about right if you've lost the ramp. Cost of ramp, silver soldering the ramp on, and if they silver solder the ramp on, the barrel would have to be re finished. And yes it is sometimes cheaper to buy a new barrel.
