  1. Raymond, thanks for the update. Attached is a picture of my standard bead sight. Is that what you started with and if so what steps did you take to remove it in preparation for the HiViz install? Of course I could just seek out a 20" barrel and cut it down but that's going to drive the costs for this project even higher. Not sure how long I have to wait before I can post with links - I have a Photobucket account which would be so much easier. Thanks again - I think you did an outstanding job. There is a page on Iron Badger where a person did the same install and credited you for it. Regards, David
  2. Raymond, thanks for the great write-up. I have bookmarked this page and continue to review it. I recently picked up via PPT a new 'used' 870. It is the 18.5" front bead sighted Talo edition. It came with a receiver mounted UTG rail and a low cost reflex sight. For various reasons I have decided to remove the mount and move to a more traditional sight setup. In its place I added a 6 shot side saddle (not totally happy with this either...should have sprung for the Mesa Tactical). I will be using this gun for simple HD and slug shooting out to 30-50 yards and think what you have done with the LPA and HiViz sights is perfect for my needs. So I have a couple questions if you don't mind. First, what barrel did you start with? Judging from your pictures it looks like it was a traditional ramped bead (like mine) that you ground off. Lastly, when you actually tapped the receiver for the LPA ghost ring sight did you do that by hand or with a drill press mounted tapping machine? I had this post all setup with links to pictures but being this is my first post I was not allowed to add links. Next time Thanks!
