I have a 20 gauge Remington 870 compact that has a 21" barrel. I like it and it's potent with 3" 2 buck shells. The butt stock, unfortunately, doesn't fit me just right. When shouldered properly, and with my cheek comfortably on the comb, my eye is not properly aligned with the rib. The barrel is aiming high. To properly align my eye I have either press my cheek very hard against the comb or raise the butt pad on my shoulder, neither a good option.
I think the cheapest way to fix my problem is with a taller front sight, I'm looking at the Hi Viz Spark III. It appears to have a base perhaps 1/8" thick or so, with the light pipe on top of that.
My question is, does anyone know whether my factory white bead is threaded in, or simply pressed in ?
Also, feel free to weigh in if ya'll think my solution is not going to fix the problem.
