590 Ghost Ring Sights?

I'm looking to put ghost ring sights on my 590 (I currently have a bead front and a rail on the receiver). I was wondering what the process of retro fitting new sights is and what sights you all have had the best luck with.

Thanks in advance,
Lucky

I have a set like these on my 8 shot 500:



The rears were easy to install since current 500/590s come D&Ted from the factory. The front has to be soldered on which requires a refinish.

Mossberg makes after-market ghost ring sights for the 500/590 line of shotguns. The rear sight is very simple to install as long as your receiver came pre-drilled and tapped.... Some older models are not. The front sight is much more of a chore to install and probably shouldn't be done by anyone other than a qualified gunsmith. The front sight needs to be silver soldered or a similar process to make it adhere to the barrel.

I installed the both the front and ghost rings on my Mossberg 500, and have been completely happy with the results.
