Sight suggestions for a 870 with rails

Well, while I am generally a fan of a simple Tritium front bead on a shotgun, if you must go with more, I would suggest a good set of ghost ring sights. This is, of course, assuming you will be shooting slugs out of that thing.

Is mounting a ghost ring on the picatinny rail a good idea? I don't seem to see that done very often

I think Mossberg does this with their 930 SP...unless I am mistaken.
 
I have recieved my sights... and the LPA rear ghost ring seems awesome, and of course installed in just moments.

The supposedly gunsmith free front sight "SG6M1F" I have no idea how to attach.

What I misinformed about this sight? Will I need a trip to the gunsmith?

This seems to indicate that I do not: http://www.lpasights.com/catalog-shotgun.html

"Ramp to be used together with BAR11W, with M1B or m1f or m1t adjustable front sight( photo sg6m1b). No welding or drilling needed; It is enough to insert the ring support and lock it on the barrel by the insert and the screws provided.
(pat. pend.)"


Without resulting to a sledgehammer, I have not idea how to put this on.
 
From the description, it appears the front sight is two piece: an appropriate base and the actual sight -- is this the case, and do you have both parts? Perhaps they sent an incorrect base. Can you post a pic of the problem parts and your existing muzzle area?

It's starting to sounds like something out of an old school hot rod catalog:
Very easy installation
