Can the rear ghost ring from this product be used with a meprolight front bead sight and still be accurate?

Not with the standard gold bead sight as it sits closer to the barrel and ghost ring sights sit up a bit taller from the bore. However, if I am not mistaken, Meprolight does make a night sight type front sight for ghost ring sights. You would simply replace the Mossberg bright orange front blade with the Meprolight version and have a low-light usable set of ghost rings. I actually wish I'd seen that before I staked the orange in place. Hope this helps.

No, it is necessary to have the raised front appiture sight due to the height of the ghost ring rear assembly.

Not sure about mixing front and rear sights. I ordered both and had to return them. I could not adjust the front sight enough to zero the system.

I'm not sure. Take a look at the picture 1st. These sights are dove tailed for the rear and staked for the front. I have a set on a series 70 colt government and a series 80 commander, it that helps. Call Meprolight, they should be able to answer your question

No. The front sight affixes to the top of the pedestal that the bead sight sat on previously. The 887 nitro mag has the raised fiber-optic sight that runs along a elevated ARMORLOKT molding on the barrel. This would interfere with the way the front sight post is mounted.

Correct you will need the riser for 1/3 co witness. If you are shooting with both eyes open as you should even without the riser and absolute co witness you really don't see the front sight. My rear sight is fold down so that isn't an issue.

depends on your rings that you use. that will determine whether the scope will hit the rear gun sight.

I used Loctite 609 to secure it (which is what they recommend). Without using the Loctite the rear sight would not stay in place

Chris, I ordered these sights for an XDm 9mm 5.25 last year. Took them to a gunsmith to install...they don't fit an XDm at all - had to return to Amazon and have the gunsmith look for a rear sight that has night-dots on it (still haven't found one that fits, although we did kinda stop looking)...Anyway, be careful, because, despite the description on both Amazon and the Meprolight websights, these did not fit an XDM.

I think it would work just fine. The matching front sight makes this system perfect. But I believe a standard front sight would be accurate as well.

The Meprolight sight includes a quick disconnect dual level system. Already installed. Just adjust the levers. Zero retention is maintained.

Yes you do, the rear base has to be drilled and tapped and aligned properly. The original bead sight that is elevated by a small platform, (on a standard Remington barrel) the bead will be removed then the trijicon will be dropped into place with epoxy and a pin. The pin just adds additional reliability so your front sight isn't just relying on epoxy to hold it.

No, mine works great, after getting used to it, i use the front sight with the red dot to ad some accuracy at certain ranges.

Your right about the guard ring. I don't even see it when I'm sighting. I don`t think it helps in sighting as I consternate on the pins. I do like this sight.

With your rear sight mounted in a forward position it could effect your sight picture alignment. But with continued practice and get comfortable with the location I don't think it would be a problem. Hope this helps.

Yes, but keep in mind you will always see the front sight. But the reticle should line up with the front sight needle. It just depends if the front sight will bother you or not.

No, the one I bought has a standard metal front sight. By the way, it is not very accurate. You ought to consider another rifle.

No, but none of the others will either. The crosshairs will be all you see from 3x and up. Only on low power will you even see the front sight. Now you may get lucky like I did, when my scope is on low power (1x to 2.5x) I can see and use the front sight post, but this is a freak bit of luck, but not guarenteed. I say get it anyway, if you feel it's too low you can buy an inexpensive riser
