Frequently Asked Questions
Will this sight fit my shotgun if it has a ventilated rib?
No — the Hi-Viz MPB is specifically designed for plain barrel shotguns without a ventilated rib. The mounting system is engineered to clamp directly onto a smooth, flat barrel. If your shotgun has a ventilated or solid rib, Hi-Viz offers other sight models designed for those configurations. Check your barrel type before ordering.
How do I switch between the green and red LitePipes?
LitePipes on Hi-Viz sights are designed to be swapped quickly and easily without tools. Simply slide or pop out the existing LitePipe and press the replacement into the sight body. Many shooters prefer green in bright conditions for maximum contrast and red in overcast or low-light environments, though personal preference plays a big role.
Can I install this sight myself, or do I need a gunsmith?
Installation is straightforward and intended for the end user — no drilling, tapping, or specialized tools are required. The MPB clamps onto the barrel using the included hardware. Always ensure the firearm is unloaded and follow all safety precautions during installation. If you're unsure, a qualified gunsmith can install it quickly and inexpensively.
