Truglo shotgun sight installation

Fiber optic light gathering sights are very bright during the day but canno be seen in the night. TruGlo Company made sight which combines both fiber optic and Tritium elements.

Very interesting sight for tactical or home defense shotguns. The Truglo Brite-Site Shotgun Sight contains the revolutionary technology of fiber optics and tritium to give users an advantage at aiming at their target in dark or light places.

The fiber optic rod is what gives you the ability to accurately point your weapon at the intended target during the day. You can see this gas in low light conditions, especially in dimly lit or dark places. If you are someone who needs to shoot at nighttime or in places without adequate lighting, then you will want to add this sight technology to your shotgun.

The tritium rod is protected inside of a cage which wraps around it. There is also a heavy-duty aluminum base under it which was machined with precision. These features will reduce the chances of the sight getting caught on something or damaged. If you normally walk in the woods or in any confined area with objects all around you, then you will want your sight to be protected in this way. To install the Truglo Brite-Site Shotgun Sight, it needs to be mounted and screwed onto the barrel of the shotgun.

This requires drilling and tapping. There are two tpi screws included with the shotgun sight for this very purpose. These screws are designed to tightly secure the sight to the barrel so that it can withstand heavy recoil and impact. But to add even more protection to the sight, it has been anodized with a durable protective layer.

This means if you drop your weapon or accidentally bump it into other hard objects, your sight should remain fine. The Truglo Brite-Site Shotgun Sight is compatible with most types of shotguns, except those which contain ventilated rib barrels. You will not be able to mount this sight onto those barrels. These sights are mounted onto the top of the shotgun barrel, using the stock and barrel rib.

Truglo includes high-density, dual-sided duct tape in the installation kit to account for shotguns that are not equipped with a barrel rib. Truglo Sights have windage and elevation adjustments, allowing the sights to zero in on both the horizontal and vertical planes. Open the chamber of the shotgun and inspect for the presence of ammunition. Make sure the gun is empty and no rounds are in the chamber or magazine.

If possible, leave the action open as a safety precaution. Slide the front sight onto the stock rib. The rib is a square notch running down the center of the stock. The Truglo Sight is designed to slide into the rib. Tighten the attachment screws on the side of the sight to attach to the rib. The small U-shaped indentation on the high end of the sight should face toward the back of the shotgun. Slide the barrel sight onto the barrel rib, if the shotgun is so equipped.
