I got a set of the tru glo sights for my new maxus ,and it says to take the front bead off and screw the front sight into its place . Is the bead not threaded ? It seems to be just spinning in place and not coming out. Any help or advice would be great !!!!!
Does anybody know if the front bead is threaded or pressed in ?
OK so if anybody cares, the bead is not threaded , its pressed in !!!
If you dont want the bead, i would be fixing to pry it out or use a pair of pliers to pull it out. If that doesnt work, shoot me a PM.

I do believe the bead is screwed in. What is spinning is either plastic or a ceramic type material that is covering the top of the screw. I have 2 browning golds that had beads like you speak of and both beads spun freely, but actually are threaded.
Ditto.... I agree with el diablo. You can buy replacement beads for the Browning guns. Personally I don't like the beads that come with their guns at all. When I had a Gold I replaced the front bead with that of a BPS which is shorter than the Gold.
Take your Maxus into a gunsmith. They have a special tool to get that front bead out.
