TRUGLO® TG–FAT BEAD™ – 2.6 mm Dual-Color Front Shotgun Bead | Model TG948CD | UPC 788130015360

Upgrade your shotgun’s front sight to something you can actually see—sunup to sundown. The TRUGLO TG–FAT BEAD 2.6 mm Dual-Color (TG948CD) replaces your factory bead with a high-visibility fiber-optic aiming point that pops in bright sun, deep shade, and those tricky low-light minutes before legal shooting time. Purpose-built for quick acquisition on clays, upland birds, turkeys, and home-range practice, the FAT BEAD™ offers a bold, easy-to-center dot without adding bulk or snag points.

Model/SKU: TG948CD • UPC: 788130015360
Thread Size: M2.6 x 0.45 (2.6 mm) front-bead replacement
Color: Dual-Color fiber optic (switchable/contrasting for varied light backgrounds)

Why the TG–FAT BEAD™ Makes Hitting Easier

• Faster sight pick-up: The oversized FAT BEAD™ fiber optic draws your eye to the muzzle naturally—ideal for snap shots on rising birds or fast crossing targets.

• Dual-color versatility: Choose the fiber color that shows up best against your background—bright green for shaded timber, vivid red for sky and open fields.

• Clean, round aiming point: A crisp dot helps you float the bead just under the target and maintain proper lead without covering the bird or clay.

• No-gunsmith install: If your barrel’s front post uses 2.6 mm metric threads (M2.6 x 0.45), simply unscrew the old bead and thread this one in—done in minutes.

• Durable build: Metal base with protected fiber-optic element stands up to recoil, weather, and hard travel in the blind bag.

Compatibility note: Bead sizes are not universal. Confirm your shotgun’s bead thread is M2.6 x 0.45 before ordering. Many popular field guns use metric threads, but always verify with the manual or a thread gauge.

Key Features

• High-visibility fiber optic: Bold, daylight-bright aiming point for faster target index

• Dual-color (red/green): Adapt the bead color to lighting and background for maximum contrast

• Oversized “FAT” profile: Larger dot = quicker eye focus and smoother mount-to-shot transitions

• Low-profile housing: Won’t snag on cases or sleeves; protects the fiber from impact

• Simple replacement: Direct front-bead swap—no adhesives, tapes, or clamp-on hardware

• All-season reliability: Weather-resistant construction for rain, cold, and dusty field conditions

Ideal Uses

• Sporting clays & skeet: Improve visual acquisition on fast pairs and true crossers

• Upland & waterfowl: Stay locked on birds in ever-changing light and backgrounds

• Turkey & predator: Crisp dot for bead-gun setups that need precise muzzle reference

• Home-range practice: Build consistent mount and eye alignment habits

Installation (Quick Guide)

1. Unload & double-check safe—visually/physically inspect chamber and magazine.

2. Remove existing bead using the correct hollow-ground screwdriver or small driver.

3. Degrease threads (barrel and new bead) lightly to ensure a snug fit.

4. Thread in TG–FAT BEAD™ (M2.6 x 0.45) by hand to avoid cross-threading; snug gently.

5. Align & verify—ensure bead sits square; optional tiny drop of blue, removable threadlocker can be used.

6. Function check your mount and sight picture dry before live fire.

If your factory bead isn’t M2.6 x 0.45, look for the FAT BEAD™ in other sizes to match your barrel’s threads.

Performance You’ll Notice

• Faster first shot: Your eye finds the larger bead immediately during the mount.

• Better backgrounds: Switch between green and red fiber (model dependent) for clouds, timber, or snow glare.

• Cleaner lead pictures: A well-defined dot helps keep the bead under the target—see it, swing through, press.

FAQs

Q: How do I confirm my shotgun uses the 2.6 mm thread size?
A: Check your owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer. A gunsmith can quickly verify with a thread gauge. Ordering the correct thread is essential for a proper fit.

Q: Will the FAT BEAD™ change my point of impact?
A: It’s a sighting reference. As with any bead change, confirm with patterning—most shooters experience faster acquisition without meaningful POI shift.

Q: Can I use threadlocker?
A: A tiny amount of removable (blue) threadlocker helps retain the bead under heavy recoil. Avoid permanent compounds.

Q: Is the fiber optic fragile?
A: The fiber is protected in a metal housing. Treat it like any precision part—avoid hard impacts and clean with a soft cloth.

Q: Does it work on vent-rib and plain barrels?
A: If the barrel’s front bead is threaded M2.6 x 0.45, the TG–FAT BEAD™ will replace it—vent-rib or plain barrel alike.
