Total non-sequitur to what has been posted so far, but here goes...
I have a Mossberg 590 12 gauge shotgun (not an A1) with a brass bead front sight. I got in my head that a ghost ring sight would be useful, and ordered a Mossy factory ghost ring sight, not realizing that the front blade has to be SILVER SOLDERED on by a gunsmith. (The rear sight bolts right up just fine to the exiting holes in the receiver).
I’m nervous (!) about finding and employing a gunsmith to pull this off.
So...
Do I just epoxy the front site on? (Has been suggested on the webz as a possiblity)
Do I purchase a third-party front sight of the clamp-on type? The only viable one I have found is for a Remington... will it fit? Unclear.
Do I lose my paranoia of gunsmiths applying too much heat to my barrel and screwing up the magazine bracket, and/or soldering the thing off center, and/or ...?
Do I buy a replacement barrel from Mossberg that has the front blade factory-attached?
Do I scrap the idea of having a ghost ring, period, and go back to the bead... or an upgraded version of the bead, like maybe a tritium bead?
I have done the usual google research... y’all’s learned opinions are coveted!

Last week Friday, I took a few shots at 300 yards with my new SOCOM rifle. Results were fair. I need to work on my technique.
It didn’t help that the sling got loose after about 8 shots, but being relatively inexperienced in long range rife shooting, that’s to be expected. Shot prone, open sights.
Couple of 10s, a 9 or two, couple of 8s, 7s, and a few misses. Sighting in was part of the experience, so I do have that excuse! :)
