1918 Specialty SBT

Posted by Larry S. Moore on December 10, 2023, 9:45 am

I recently purchased a 1918 Specialty SBT. I am anxious to shoot it as it feels great and the sight picture mirrors my Beretta trap gun. I need some advice. Someone replaced the front bead, which I believe was a Lyman Ivory Bead. The put on a hideous neon orange thing. Questions:

Is it possible to obtain an original bead?
I've seen some replacements advertised online.
Is this a screw in or press in front bead?
If screw in, does anyone know the thread size?

Thank you
