Installing Mossberg ghost ring sights

I have been thinking about installing the Mossberg ghost ring sights on my Mossberg 500. The rear sight seems to be pretty easy; just remove the screws, place rear ghost ring sight in place, and tighten screws. Here's the problem: how do you install the front sight? I have seen that gunsmithing is required, but does it screw in using the front bead hole? Or is this something that requires soldering/brazing to work?

Where are you going to mount the rear sight? Most are mounted on the receiver just in front of the safety. Sounds like a drill and tap job to me unless you already have some type of sight at that location.

Hope you have a buddy who is VERY good with a welder. The front blade must be welded or silver soldered on. No cheap or easy fix.
