I have a Remington 870 express magnum with 21" barrel, threaded for chokes. It has a vent rib and 2 bead sights. I want to install fiber optic turkey sights on the gun. It seems like the front sight for these is held onto the vent rib with a magnet, which I am not wild about. Is there any reason I can't order this sight set and attach the magnetic sight "better" to the vent rib using JB weld, or some similar industrial grade adhesive? I am concerned about the front coming off under recoil or while busting brush moving through the woods, either moving into position or while I am playing run & gun, etc. I would install the front sight behind the existing bead, leaving on the factory bead as a "back up". My thinking is if the F-O sights break, malfunction, or whatever in the field I can remove it/them with a leatherman tool I always have.
