HiViz TriViz sight question
Since the front bead on my 870 won't come off, would it be alright so use some super glue, or something of the sort to glue the front sight down on the rib behind the front bead? Or any other ideas?

I have an 870 with this same sight... I just peeled off the adhesive strip and put the bead throught the hole that is on the front part of the sight and stuck it on like that

An 870 bead is pressed in. To get it out you will need vice grips and a hammer.
Clamp the grips tight on the bead from the side like it were a nut on a boltand strike the vice grips upward and the bead will pop out. Take a #31 drill bit anddrill out the holeand a thread it with a6-48 bottom tap and you will be able to find a bead anywhere thatsells shotgun beads.
Or you can get a different sight that does not require the use of the beads hole. I really like the TRU-POINT EXTREME from Truglo.
