Frequently Asked Questions
Will the TruGlo Fat Bead fit my Remington shotgun?
Yes, the Fat Bead Universal Red is compatible with most Remington shotguns. However, on some Remington models the sight will install correctly but the end of the sight may extend slightly beyond the end of the ventilated rib. This is a cosmetic consideration only and does not affect function or accuracy.
Which thread adapters are included, and how do I know which one to use?
The Fat Bead comes with adapters for 6-48, 3-56, 2.6mm, 5-40, and 3mm thread patterns, covering the vast majority of factory bead threads found on modern shotguns. To identify your thread size, remove your existing bead and check its base thread with a thread gauge, or consult your firearm's owner manual. Most American-made shotguns use 6-48 or 3-56 threads.
Does the Fat Bead require batteries or special tools to install?
No batteries are required — the Fat Bead is a passive fiber optic sight that gathers and channels available natural or ambient light to produce a bright red glow. Installation is simple and typically requires only a small wrench or coin to thread the bead into your existing sight hole using the appropriate included adapter.
