Frequently Asked Questions

Will this 2.6mm bead fit my shotgun?

The Truglo Fat Bead Universal Replacement Sight is designed for shotguns with a 2.6mm threaded front sight. Before purchasing, verify that your shotgun's bead uses a 2.6mm thread. Many popular pump and semi-auto shotguns do, but it's worth checking your manual or the existing bead if you're unsure.

What's the advantage of a red fiber optic bead for shotgun hunting?

Fiber optic beads gather ambient light and glow brightly without batteries, making your aiming point visible in low light, heavy cover, and bright sunlight. Red is a popular choice because it offers high contrast against most backgrounds and game birds, helping you acquire your target quickly and shoot with confidence.

How do I install this replacement bead?

Simply unscrew your old bead by turning it counterclockwise, then thread the new Truglo bead on clockwise until snug. No tools, gunsmithing, or special installation steps needed—just tighten by hand or with your fingers until it's secure.

Is this bead a universal fit for all shotgun brands?

This sight is universal in the sense that it fits any shotgun with a 2.6mm threaded front sight post. The 2.6mm thread is a standard dimension used across many shotgun manufacturers, but always verify your shotgun uses 2.6mm threads before ordering to ensure compatibility.
