Encore Pro Hunter Katahdin 20" 500S&W Fluted with sights

I purchased this Katahdin 500 S&W barrel & took it out to sight it in & to my surprise it was way off shooting 1 ft 6 inches high. I moved the rear sight as far as it would go & it still shot 6 inches high. I went home perplexed so I started checking the TC web site & noticed the photos of the barrels on the web site had a red fiber optic front sight on them. My barrel came with a green fiber optic sight on it. I called TC the next day & talked to customer service to see what was up. They had no clue what color sight is suppose to be on the barrel. I told them the pics on there site had red sights on the barrels & he also saw that so he decided to sent me the red sight & see if that will work. I got the front sight about 5 days later & it is almost 1/8 of an inch taller which is what the sight needs to be. Taller or higher. I put it on & will shoot it & let you know how it works out. I think it will be fine. If you get one of these barrels & it has a green front sight. Beware, it probably will not work. I do not blame Eabco for this. It's not there fault. Other than that. the barrel is great.

Wanted the barrel to complement my S&W 500 mag pistol. Barrel arrived in perfect condition and mounted easily. Williams peep site was only 2 inches low and 1 inch right at 50 yards out of the box. Typical adjustments on the sights are somewhat tricky and require the use of a very small screwdriver so be prepared.
