Description
This is the standalone tritium front sight from the Scattergun Technology Trak-Lock II line, made to drop onto your 12 gauge Remington 870, 1100 or 1187. The whole thing is CNC machined from bar stock steel, so it holds up to recoil and rough handling year after year. The tritium insert gives you a self-illuminating dot that stays visible when the light drops off, which is exactly what you want on a home defense or duty gun.
What the Trak-Lock II Front Sight Brings to Your Shotgun
Ghost ring setups are about speed, and a good glowing front bead is half the equation. The Trak-Lock II front sight pairs perfectly with a ghost ring rear to give you a quick, natural sight picture that lets your eye snap right to the target. Testing has shown folks hitting an 8-inch circle at 7 yards from low ready in well under a second once these are zeroed. That kind of fast acquisition is why the Trak-Lock line has been a longtime favorite for tactical and defensive shotguns.
Fit and Install Notes for the Trak-Lock II Tritium Front
This part is the front sight only, so there's no rear sight or epoxy in the package. It's designed to mount over the existing front bead base on your barrel and then get cross-pinned with a roll pin, which keeps it locked down for the long haul. Some folks handle this at the bench, others prefer to hand it to a gunsmith, especially if the rest of the ghost ring conversion is being done at the same time. Once it's on, it's on. There are reports of these staying put for decades of hard use.
Who This Front Sight Is Made For
If you already run a Trak-Lock II ghost ring rear or you're building out a Remington scattergun for defense or competition, this front sight rounds out the package. It fits most 12 gauge 870, 1100 and 1187 models and delivers the same rugged steel build and low-light visibility the whole Trak-Lock line is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Trak-Lock II tritium front sight come with the rear sight or epoxy?
No, this listing is the front sight only. There is no ghost ring rear sight and no epoxy included in the package. If you're doing a full ghost ring conversion, you'll want to pair it with a matching Trak-Lock II rear sight and pick up bedding epoxy separately.
Will this front sight fit my Remington shotgun?
It's built for most 12 gauge Remington 870, 1100 and 11-87 models. It mounts over the existing front bead base on the barrel. If you have a non-standard barrel or a model outside that lineup, double-check your setup before ordering.
How does the Trak-Lock II front sight install?
The front sight is epoxied over your existing bead base and then cross-pinned with a roll pin to lock it in place. It's a manageable bench job for someone comfortable with basic gunsmithing, but plenty of folks hand it to a gunsmith for a clean install. Once it's set, it stays put, with some installs holding strong for decades.
Why choose a tritium front sight over a fiber optic?
Tritium is self-illuminating and glows on its own without needing daylight to charge, so it stays visible in low light and darkness. That makes it a strong pick for a home defense or duty shotgun where you might not have good light. Fiber optic tends to shine brighter in daylight but fades once the sun goes down.
