Anyone know where I can have rifle sights installed on my 870 barrel

[adh]

I've got an old 870 and have two barrel for it. One 18.5" for HD, and another (forget the length) for hunting. Would like to get some sights installed in place of the bead on the 18.5 barrel, but do not want a rear sight that has to mount to the receiver. Any suggestion on the sights or a smith to install them?

Thanks

Just purchase a lightly used "new to you" factory 870 police barrel with rifle sights... they run around $100... Or you can get a new one for a little more...

I failed to mention that this old baby is blued and that's the hard part....I found an 870 18.5" barrel with rifle sights, but it was parked and I want blued

XS makes a sight that "fits" over the bead on an 870. I dont know how well they work but for $60 its worth a try and i think this is what im going to put on my vang barrel or one that claps on the barrel.

I've considered it, but it still leaves me with just a front sight

Have your reciever taped for a rail, LPA has a rail mounted sight that will work with a rifled sight on the 18.5 barrel, or run the rail and and Eotech or Aimpoint. So when you want to use it for hunting you can take the optic off or use it for hunting as well.

I think for what you want to do the rail would be the best bet.

Who sells actual new Remington Police barrels? I've had a little difficulty finding a Remington 19" parkerized police barrel (not an Express model).

Thanks
