I need some Gun Smithing help for my Mossberg

[PKP_902]

Long story here, I wanted to put a gold bead front sight on my new to me 18.5" Mossberg 590a1. I am used to shooting sporting clays with a similar front sight. I went to MidwayUSA and purchased a Mossberg brand gold bead front sight. It did not fit, the treads were a different pitch and the shaft of the bolt wasn't long enough. While taking the old sight out I broke the bead of the bolt.

I called Mossberg and explained what had happened, they were very understanding and said they would ship me a new front sight free of charge. When the packaged arrived it contained a gold bead sight identical to the one from MidwayUSA. It also contained a white large bead front sight. The white bead had a longer shaft and what appeared to be the correct pitch for the treads, however it would not screw into place. I put the broken bead sight back on the shotgun and it screwed in no problem.

I am still out a shot gun at this point. Now I have seen the Ghost Ring sights for the guns, but I need a recommendation for a gun smith who can silver solder the front sight base on correctly. I just want to shoot my shotgun. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for the pitiful pictures I couldn't get my camera to auto focus properly. From left to right: broken sight, MidwayUSA gold bead, Mossberg gold bead, and Mossberg large white.

Brian Ott is in Douglasville and does good work.

Brian Ott will surely fix this and won't over charge you but it is a pretty simple fix. I'd send the broken sight to Mossberg and ask for the correct replacement with a brief letter explaining what happened with the thread pitch.

No doubt OTT is a good choice but DeerCreek gunsmith is near the Cobb Civic center and might be closer for you. They do a lot of black powder work but I bet they could fix that front sight.
