I have an older Mossberg 590 with the brass bead sights. How hard is it to get better sights added? Like a ghost ring rear and a fiber optic front?
A friend had a 500 with a fantastic set of sights. It had a ghost ring rear, two fiber optic dots in green on either side of the ghost ring at 3:00 and 6:00 and then a red fiber optic front (perhaps the colors were reversed front to back but you get the idea). I offered to trade straight up and give up the capacity, the heatshield and the bayonet lug for those sights but the thing belonged to my friend's brother and he couldn't do a deal.
Anybody done such a retrofit? I wouldn't expect to do it myself. I'd find a gunsmith.
