ghost rings for my mossberg 590 | Thread profile

IMHO MMC makes the best ghost ring sights bar none! Very rugged and good looking to boot! http://www.mmcsight.com/shotgun.htm

You might have to clean under the barrel. If you get rust there, you'll have to at least loosen the bolts and turn it to gain access to under the heat shield. You don't need to have the front sight post removed and resoldered. Just follow my instructions and put it on the barrel. Hardwarz

i called mossberg cust service back up and they told me that i could install mossbergs ghost ring sights on my 590 with the heat shield, the only problem is that the front sight has to be solderd on and you cant remove the heat sheild because it has to slide over the barrell. My question is, and im sorry in advanced because i dont know a whole lot about shotguns, what is a reason why i would have to remove the heatshield?? Would I need to...

Misc question: Why do people like ghost ring sights? I never looked through them before.

I have a Mossberg 500 that came with a heat shield and a bead sight. I wanted the same ghost ring sights that come on the 590 so i ordered them off of the Mossberg website and had a smith install them. I have never had an issue with the heat shield and sights damaging each other. The only people who make the sights are Mossberg. There are some ATI heat shields that have ghost ring sights built into them but i have heard they are pretty crappy.

other mfg of ghost rings is http://www.xssights.com/store/shotgun.html these should work as well on your Moss 590
