Mossberg 500 picatinny rail & ghost ring sights

dirksterg30 · December 28, 2005, 01:51 PM

I have a Mossberg 500 Persuader with a bead sight. The bead sight doesn't work for me, so I plan on putting ghost ring sights on it. I am a fan of red dot sights, and I can shoot faster with them than with anything else. Are there accessories available that allow me to keep ghost ring sights on with the red dot mounted?

I'm pretty sure the 590 uses some of the scope mount screws to attach the rear sight, so I suspect the only way you could attach a ghost ring rear and a dot, would be to find some kind of compatible rail with an integrated rear. Maybe someone could adapt an AR rail/sight to the Mossy? Something like the . . . what's it called . . . It's a C-More sight and rear AR sight in a single unit. Very compact. They're sold under the Colt name; I've seen them in Shotgun News.

I have the low-tube AR adapter for my Moss. 590A1 by Mesa Tactical:

The high tube would allow the red dot sight, or the ghost ring setup while keeping the front sight on the barrel. On mine, with the low tube, I have the ghost rings, but could always unscrew the receiver portion of the sight and replace it with a picatinny rail to mount the red dot sight.
