590a1 barrel question

[xkalifornian]

Hello all. This is my first post here on this great forum.
I just got a beautiful very slightly used 590a1 with ghost ring sights.
After a range visit, I'm not liking the ghost sights much.
How would I obtain an 18.5" 590a1 barrel with a bead sight. Or maybe
convert the ghost front sight to a bead.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for your time.

The GRS front base is silver soldered onto the barrel, so conversion would mean having a smith remove the front base, drill it for a bead, then refinish the entire barrel.

Or, you can purchase a new bead sight barrel direct from Mossberg sales. The easiest way is to call them at (800) 363-3555 and ask for a replacement barrel for the standard 590a1 bead sight model 51411. Should run about $150...

Mines a 18.5 bead sight, in perfect condition. I might be willing to swap barrels with you if your interested.
