Rear sight for a shotgun

Clifjr · Aug 15, 2016

Anybody know a gunsmith around Annapolis area that could drill and tap to install a rear sight on a shotgun? My buddies girlfriend needs this done. I don't know what kind of shotgun other than its a 410 and I think she wants it on the receiver.

Is there a saddle mount available for that shotgun. Google "Brand X saddle mount".

I have a Rem 870 saddle mount that I offered him but he didn't want it or maybe it wouldn't work on her shotgun.

I see. Tough to help without model information.

I put a holographic red dot sight on my 12 , which i rather like . Found a short weaver rail that fit two existing holes and the curve on top of the receiver, then drilled and tapped the receiver for the remaining two holes. Of course I did this myself, which if I sell my gun, now makes me a manufacturer......

The threads are somewhat unusual, but Brownells carries taps and screws I believe. It was not that difficult.

It's a Mossburg 510 Super Bantam.

The Mossberg 510 should already be drilled and tapped on the top of the receiver. There should be (4) 8-40 thread plug screws in the holes. You just need to remove the plugs and install a rail like this one (link below). Then you can mount a red dot, a scope, aperture or any other style of sight you want.
