This is NOT what I started out to do, which turned out to be a bust, but in my little pile of Hi-Viz fiber optic sights I picked out of a clearance bin someplace, there was magnetic model intended for mounting on shotgun ribs. Turns out it’s a perfect fit for the front base on my Ithaca. Those magnets (3) are very strong, but a little super glue wouldn’t be a bad idea for strength. Also, trimming the end(s) to eliminate anything hanging over would help prevent catching it on stuff. The one I tried is the Birdbuster, I think, and comes with round and triangulare light pipes in red and green. It’s much brighter than the original, and sits quit a bit higher, which might be handy for use with replacement rear sights.

Not elegant, but workable I think….
