Want to shoot Foster slugs through my '90s Browning 3" A5 smoothbore (28" VR with multiple choke tubes). Of course the only sight is the front bead. A local gun shop told me the receiver can't be drilled and tapped and the only available rear sight is a clamp-on not strong enough to be woth a flip, so I should buy a slug barrel. Can anyone suggest an alternative for a rear sight? Thanks
Sight for Browning A5 Slugs

I use basic slugs with front bead only reliably (minute of pie plate=minute of deer) out to 65 yards and would stretch that to 80-85 yards given ideal circumstances (freezer slap empty)
...
I use the thing "aimed" like a rifle I just plant my face using the receiver as my rear sight to bead alignment I found accurate during range testing and practice...

The top of the receiver could be D/T'd for a Williams WGRS peep sight, and a raised front sight temporarily mounted (both removeable when not shooting slugs/@deer/etc.
Other than that - new, and/or used, A5 "buck"barrels are available from the likes of Corsons Barrels & The Barrel Exchange. (google)
