TRUGLOairsoft-Gun-Sights

Fits Stoeger M3500 26" barrel well. **Update 9-Feb-2016** After two seasons of duck hunting in the swamp, and probably 300+ target rounds, the bead is holding up like a champ. My hunting buddies all like the look of the bead too. Some say it's puny in size, but I think it's great. Some reviews complain that the bead doesn't sit straight or it falls off. Please note that the mounting screws are threaded on both ends. If you can't get it to sit straight, it isn't the bead's fault. Blue threadlocker ensures that the bead won't fall off. Original review↓ After trying several different beads, I settled on this one. This one is the universal mount so it should fit about anything. I used a dab of blue thread-locker on both the bead base AND the gun itself. I would recommend this for anyone purchasing this product. I've lost beads before and there is nothing more annoying than lining up a shot and finding that your bead has gone AWOL. Pros:Large diameter bead speeds target acquisition, screws in flush with vent rib so you don't have the annoying "shelf" optical effect that most aftermarket beads have where the bead base is 0.5 mm higher than the surrounding rib. This was incredibly annoying to me on other products, and it really sold me on this bead. Universal mounting screws are threaded on both ends. This allows you thread a screw into the sight from the bottom, and then attach that screw to the gun. If the bead is slightly out of alignment to one side, simply back out the screw slightly from the bead base so more threads are available to be screwed into the gun. Cons:In my opinion, this dual color design is not as efficient as gathering light as a normal single color green bead, so it is not as bright. However, the dual color makes the sight visible against a variety of different backgrounds. This is incredibly helpful as you swing your barrel across tree cover and into clear sky like in a duck hunting situation.

This sight was really impressive for the money. At ~20$ you could have a high-contrast bead. The circular contrast of fibers with the light channeling is what makes it pop. I shoot clays and have a few different brands and this bead would look nice on any of them. As other reviewers have stated, don't expect this thing to be gigantic. It seems compact because of the nested fiber colors, where a solid bead would take up the whole space. The odd thing to me was that the bottom is not completely flat. It has a small raised area near the screw post, maybe to keep it from rubbing off a finish? This will not hold on its own and does need some sort of adherent (loctite, etc.) As you can find on handgun forums, this is a great front sight post replacement for handguns too. I put it on a micro-compact 9 and it is not too big. the multiple thread sizes were great and I just opened the original hole slightly for threading and had a 20$ high-contrast fiber post.

Not sure why other reviews are so low... Installed on a FedArm SS12, break action, single shot12ga, smooth barrel. 1) Yes it is a bit "fiddly" to install and the screws are itty bitty. Some patience and just a small bit of skill are needed. I found the correct post, screwed the top end into the sight and screwed the post into the tapped hole on my barrel. It didn't line up. It was almost 90 degrees off. No worries, loosen the post in the barrel and retighten. This advanced the sight more forward and after a few repetitions it was on tight and aligned straight. Read several reviews that said the fiber optic cracked on install. Obviously, finesse wins out over brute strength. Part of the post protruded into the barrel. Got out the Dremel and used a small, rough grit sanding drum. At 15,000 rpm it took just a quick touch to sand the post flush with the inside of the barrel. On hindsight the Dremel was probably overkill and a manual sanding would probably do you fine. 2) Height. Yep, this things sticks up a bit taller than a standard bead. Or at least on my application it did. Note in the closeup pic that there is a small gap between the sight and the barrel. Honestly this looks made for ribbed barrels so it would likely snug down way better there. Also, I didn't use any thread locker on it. Seems I got it tight enough the way I installed it. Fired several rounds and it didn't budge. YMMV 3) Asthetics. It ain't classic, but that's not what you look for in a product if this nature. I do like the look a lot though. Better than a snap on sleeve for a plain barrel or a magnetic mount for ribbed, either of which have a huge "look at me" aspect. This is discreet, yet functional. 4) Sight picture. It was all I could ask for. The SS12 has a rather deep sighting groove on the receiver and the TruGlo Fat Bead lined up nice with it. The Dual Color is a very nice touch and I can see myself liking this more and more as I go along. Overall I'm very satisfied. I took one star off because it is a slight pain to install and the mount isn't flush on my smooth barrel. It's not quite truly "universal." However, I think it's a quality product that does what it should and at a very attractive price.

The fiber optic fell out of the sight before even installing. It bring the quality control of these sights into question. That being said, it's an easy enough task to glue/epoxy the fiber bead back into the housing, but you probably shouldn't have to right out of the package. The good news is that the installation of these beads are very easy, and they are very bright and visible.

I have always used TruGlo products. Works like it should.

Value unmatched. Easy installation. Easy to see. Functions great.

My sight was 'previously tried', the torn card and scotch tape were evidence of this. That said..., it looked ok, so i installed it. I used 'Blue Loctite'. took a few turns, was not best fit. I got it to what was 'full tight, needed to go another 1/8th inch....I was skeptical, but gave it a nudge and was LUCKY. It DOES NOT SIT FLUSH with barrel. It IS properly installed. Smooth barrel Winchester. Can slip a business card under it...It is a LOT better than the factory Brass Bead for my old eyes, I just hope it holds up...I KNOW it won't move, especially with Blue Loctite...PLEASE...Don't use Super Glue as suggested in other reviews....Super Glue can't take heat and is brittle when dry. Install it properly. The sight picture is Great now...

Seems fine.. after installing it I think it would be better if I had gotten the solid color. Other wise fine

Worked as described!

他の人のレビューにもある通り、ネジを絞めると5度ほど右方向にずれます。 そのままでは使えないので接着剤で固定しますが、肝心の蛍光サイトが真円になってません。 さらに、上方向から見ても真っすぐになってません。 ビックリするぐらい雑な作りです。 100円均一のお店で出すには妥当な商品と思います。

Good piece ,nice and bright decent size not too big not too small

Wasn't too difficult to install though be prepared with tweezers as parts are very small. I'm looking forward to see how it holds up but seems to be good without using threadlock, which will make future work easier.
