Hi M590man:
Be careful of making assumptions about beads on Remington products; configuration is very much dependent on your specific model and when it was produced. In my safe right now I have a Model 58 with a factory threaded bead, an M11 that had a press-fit bead (now drilled & tapped, guess why?), and a vented rib 878 of 'indeterminate' configuration (read: "not messing with what's not broken"). If you have doubts, see a gunsmith, as it won't be too expensive and is far better than the Oh S*** you might get by trying to unscrew a pressed in bead- trust me on this!
