I recently purchase an 11-87 slug barrel. The rear sight elevation screw is buggered up pretty bad. I'd like to replace it, but all the screws I find online are allen heads and say for the 3rd generation sight. Any ideas where I can purchase the correct sight? I hate to spend $6.00 for a screw plus another $5.00 shipping just to find I can't use it.
Thanks

Re: 11-87 rear sight elevation screw question
I think the newer socket-head screw replaces the older flat-head screw. I'm not 100% sure on this, but Remington's site lists it as a common part for 870s and other rifles with the same sights. Remington's website sucks, and sometimes has incorrect parts info, so I would suggest calling their customer service line to confirm.
