A little gunsmithing advice

[garand4life]

I finished installing a new adjustable stock on my Mossberg 590. The only problem is that since this model just has a front bead sight it's hard to get low enough on the stock to get a good view down the barrel to line up on target. I just ordered from mossberg the ghost ring sight set that comes on the 590A1. The receiver is drilled and tapped so it's just a matter of screwing on the rear sight but the front is another story. It says gunsmithing required. So what would be the easiest way to install the front sight. Weld, solder? Appoxy like JB Weld? Ideas thoughts appreciated.

Screw it in, but you will need to be very careful, the screw on the sight needs to be cut to length and if you get it to long you will push a dimple into the bore as there is only a few thousandths of material at the bottom of the screw hole.
Figure the thickness of 2 hairs at most.

Like Tom said, they just screw in. Some can be a major pain to get out if they are set in with Loc-tite.

I believe all Mossbergs use 5-40 threads, but since you bought the sights through them, that shouldn't be a concern.
Some bead threads go all the way through and then are filed flush with the bore. Both my Winchesters are that way. I don't know about the Mossy so check.
