I bought a new 18.5 inch barrel for my mossberg. The problem is that the bead sight is too low, with my ordinary check weld. To get the bead on target, I have to lower the barrel so far down that I can barely see the bead over the top of the receiver. (think the sun over the ocean 5 seconds before sunset).
Ideally I would like to add a simple set of open sights to the barrel itself. Or at least get a higher bead. How hard is it to do this? Does someone make a kit? Is it just a matter of soldering something on? Will soldering compromise the strength of the barrel? I don't really want to drill into the barrel or do anything else which would compromise it's integrity.
I don't want to add a rear sight to the receiver, since I like my mossberg just fine as it is with the 28 inch barrel for shooting clays and vermin.
Thanks.
