will this rail system work with a barrel with bridges sights? I have an 870 wingmaster magnum with bridged sights and I want to know if it will fit.

Two curved plates are used to mount the rail to the barrel. The inside of the rail along its length has space between it and the top of the reciever, bit less than a pencil. The two plates might leave space for a bridge. If not a gunsmith can help you.

I don't know if it will if that exact model. If you go to the Aimtech site, I believe they can give you that info. I have a 870 express tactical. This is the only one that I could find to fit my specific model.

I don't think so but If the bridge sights is only on the end of the barrel of the shot gun and its not to big it should work my 870 express it has two inches that is open with a bead sight. if there is any sight on the receiver you can not... Wish I can show a pic of mine

It will work as long as you can find a mount that will fit both your 870 and the light. Problem is the light housing is narrow and not a standard size like other weapon lights. Behind the lenses bell the light body diameter is .900 so it's tough to find a mount to fit that. Another issue is your mount needs to stand off far enough from your weapon so the lenses of the light doesn't hit it. Another issue since most lights don't have a big lense like this one. I love the light and have one on my AR with a remote coil using a 1" Viking mount and a few layers of shrink wrap around the body so it will fit snug since the mount is for a 1" light. I'm sure there are better mounts out today then when I got mine. As long as it will clamp down below .900. But for my 870 I personally would not like it as it's overkill. For all my shotguns I use streamlight M3's with their corresponding shotgun mounts which are nice as I can slip them on and off the picatiny rail. Works very well and lower profile sitting closer to the weapon. But it's a personal choice. Hope that helps!

You have to tap out the existing pins with an awl. The rail comes with bolts that functions the same as the pins, but with an allen key. (provided)This is the only 870 rail I would use. It's rock-solid and balls-accurate.

I have a DPMS with this sight installed along with the magnifier, i changed out the most of the parts but the rail and this sight work great, if you want a picture send me your email and ill show you.

I have a DPMS Oracle. The front and rear picatinny rails are different heights. I had to buy a .750 raised gas block from Amazon to make it works. They will work if you do this and bring the front sight up to same level as the rear. Ivan N.

It replaces the original sight rail for the rear sight. There are two hex, or torx screws that hold on the old rail removing them allows you to switch the rails. The sight rail is part of the receiver and not the barrel I do not think the barrel configuration will make any difference. Hope this helps.

This site on 870tactical shotgun I've put together works real well. I think where the wouldn't work I think it would work however finding something the mounting system might be a little difficult however if you do figure this out deafly let me know

Hi Reno I am not sure what you are asking but I'll give it a shot. If the firearm you want to use has drilled and tapped holes that are plugged with allen screws just remove them and use almost any rail which should include new screws to nount the scope on the firearm. If your firearm does not have the threaded holes either go to a local gun store and try to find a rail that mounts to the rear sight. You can Google your firearm and enter "scope mount for xxx" where xxx is your gun. The last way that I know is to take your firearm to a competent gunsmith and have him drill and tap holes in your gun for a rail. I have two Ruger revolvers and have rail mounts that attach to the rear sight mounting holes. You must remove the rear sight to do this and instructions usually if not always come with the rail mounting kit. My Mosin Nagant has a kit that installs to the rear sight stuff too. My Ruger 1022 came with a rail and screws and just screws on to pre-drilled holes. I hope this helps but if not please give me more details and maybe I can be of more help. Dan

i haave a "henry" rifle ( in .22 rimfire ) that was pre drilled on top but it came with iron sights . i bought a rail with a 3/8"dovetail onit . problem was it had slots milled perpudicular on top . i purchased the accushot clamps you ask about , but the answer is yes it does . but i had to sift it forward or to the rear so the cross clamp bolts are located towards the bottom and i had to sift it so the bolts fit in the slots (slots are every 1/2" or so no troubles with eye relief . they are solid and i love them . i hope this helps .

I still haven't mounted mine. The cross bars on my Magnum are to wide and you do need the cross bars.

I installed this on my 870 with a blackhawk fore grip, but the blackhawk fore grip interfered with the action. The only way to avoid this mistake is to find a fore grip that isn't very long, try a magpul

I'll try to help. I could not use my 870 because it has a spare shell carrier bolted to the left side of the receiver. But I put it up to the shotlock and tried to estimate, etc. You will have to use the pump shotgun hanger which holds the gun by going inside the open ejection port; rather than using the two blocks which surround the trigger guard. This is fine; that's what it is for! You should then have about 3/4 of an inch of clearance above the top of the receiver (and more above the barrel) for sights, rails, etc. If you come out a tad tight, you should be able to drill two additional mounting holes in the back plate (for mounting the pump gun hanger), but you probably won't need to do that. If your measurements look tight (for your particular components you might want to ask the manufacturer. Good Luck. David S.

If you are using the original sight base still on your gun, this fit will work just fine. The old sight is tapped out and the new improved version is inserted into the existing dovetail. If your barrel doesn't have the dovetail, then this product won't work for you.Just an added comment, these Tech Sight products are fantastic non-illuminated sights - love them!

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

It should work if you have the rail sustem to mount it just adjust your front site post. Buy the tool to adjust it. Its like 5 dollars and get a bore sight, thats like10 dollars. And your be on paper. Just have to tweek it to.your eye

Yes, it will mount directly on to any mil std 1913 rail system. However, depending on your stock, and your personal preference the mount it comes with may hinder your use of the charging handle on your rifle. Other mounts are available. Also be careful when buying the flip up lens covers, you'll want theTrijicon TA90 and TA91 killFLASH. I bought the wrong ones the first time. The scope is the bee's knees though.

yes, i believe the sidesaddle will fit with this rail system as the sidesaddle uses screws in place of the receiver pins, as does the rail. Might be a bit tricky though, due to the length of the screws.
