AJ Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Re: 870 pressed in bead? Pull harder but make sure you pull straight up. I use a pair of needlenose pliers with duct tape to keep from marring the bead. The silver beads are pressed in beads. The white beads on the little pedestal are screw in.

Guest tarbaby Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Re: 870 pressed in bead? I ran into the same problem with my Wingmaster. I would take it to a gunsmith to make sure you don't do any permanent damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4Blade Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Re: 870 pressed in bead? I got it out with a little more muscle and a few bad words:)......My bead was camo and I hated it so I changed it over to a fiber optic bead...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LETMGROW Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Re: 870 pressed in bead? I put a dab of White Out on mine. It's been there for three or four years. Lot easier fix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
