re: slug guns. with this gun having its cobbled together "sights" i was almost suspicious that it had been bent deliberately for the purpose you mention. but surely anyone with any sense at all would realize they could have just moved the rear sight since it was only taped on. but it was centered on the matting on the receiver so possibly whoever did it wanted to leave the rear where it was.

this one was easy being nothing but a tube. i can well imagine on a double with the risk of popping a rib loose, or even a single bbl with a soldered on rib, that the pucker factor would have been far, far greater.
