I think Express models are just pressed in. Grab it with a pair of pliers and yank it out. Wingmasters and the other nicer finished guns are threaded in. I think if you look close, you'll see a small hex or flats to grip it by and unscrew it. Maybe ask the guys in the Gunsmithing forum to be sure. A couple of them know what they are talking about. Mention if its an Express, Wingmaster, etc.

My 870 Express was press-fit. It had to be cut off, drilled out and tapped for a screw-in Truglo. It's not an easy job because you can drill through the barrel and marr the rib up if you're not careful. If you have the 870 Express I recommend taking it to a competent gunsmith for this work.

Try these:



Truglo Tru-Point
It comes with green and red but you can replace them with white which work out very nicely.

Truglo also makes a very nice paint that you can put on your current bead. Just click on their accessory pages.
