Title: Rear sight replacement
Post by: Uchee creek gobblers on April 23, 2014, 07:03:19 PM
I got an 1187 special purpose with the rear rifle sight and I need to replace it. Does anybody know where I can get one at?

I bet Midway USA has it.

Or Williams has firesights that should replace it, too.

To the OP - There you havie it!  Clark helped me a couple years ago get the rear fiber optic sight replaced on my Winchester 1300 with a factory soldered ramp on a plain barrel.  Clark is the best!

Wow, I had to call them once about 870 sights and the guy I spoke to was great.  BSed with him for at least 45 minutes about turkeys and hogs.  They sent me a fix for my problem at no cost.
