Will the screw mounts on the receiver of the 500 accept another small bead sight? Was thinking about the double bead setup...
Double bead on the 500 Persuader

There have been 2 different sizes of screws that have been used over the years.
I think the current ones are 8-40.
Anything made 1997 and prior is 6-48
Technically, the screw holes on the receiver is for installing a scope mount.
If you have a vent rib barrel, it may line up OK with the front bead, but if you have a standard (non-vent rib) barrel, the rear bead will sit up way higher than the front which would cause you to shoot high on everything.
Here's a Charles Daly Turkish import that I recently tapped for a scope mount. Turned out really good. It shoots like a dream.
