TRUGLO SIGHT FAT BEAD 5-40 Thread – Fiber-Optic Dual (Model TG948DD)
Upgrade your shotgun’s point-of-aim with the TRUGLO SIGHT FAT BEAD 5-40 Thread Fiber-Optic Dual (TG948DD, UPC 788130015377)—a rugged, high-visibility front bead engineered for fast target acquisition in bright sun, dim timber, and everything in between. Whether you’re busting clays, chasing gobblers, or working a flooded timber line for ducks, the FAT BEAD’s dual-fiber design and oversized profile make the front sight unmistakable and intuitive, helping you mount consistently and stay on target.
Why Choosy Shotgunners Pick the FAT BEAD
Blazing-fast sight picture: Dual fiber-optic elements gather ambient light to create a bold aiming reference that draws your eye naturally to the muzzle.
Oversized “Fat” profile: The enlarged bead is easier to see under recoil and in peripheral vision, supporting more consistent mount and swing.
Reliable 5-40 thread fit: Designed to replace most factory 5-40 threaded front beads—no gunsmithing for compatible models.
Lightweight, low-profile durability: Built for field abuse without adding bulk; resists snagging on cases, scabbards, or brush.
All-conditions visibility: High-contrast fibers remain easy to track from sunny range days to shadowed blinds and pre-dawn setups.
Key Features at a Glance
Dual Fiber-Optic Bead: Two bright fiber rods deliver a clean, crisp aiming point that pops against sky, timber, and decoys.
5-40 Threaded Post: Simple swap for compatible barrels; verify thread spec before purchase or installation.
“Fat” Bead Geometry: Oversized diameter speeds acquisition and reduces hunting for the front sight on the mount.
Field-Ready Construction: Made to handle recoil and the elements in real hunting conditions.
Low Maintenance: Wipe clean; no batteries, switches, or electronics to fail.
Who It’s For
Waterfowl hunters who need instant sight pickup on fast-crossing birds in variable light.
Turkey hunters who want a confident, bold front aiming reference without going to a full sight set.
Clay shooters and sporting enthusiasts who appreciate a brighter, more visible front bead for repeatable mount and swing.
Installation & Compatibility
Verify your factory bead thread is 5-40 (common on many shotguns, but not universal).
Ensure the barrel is unloaded and safe before beginning.
Unthread the existing front bead carefully; use proper tools to avoid marring the finish.
Thread in the TRUGLO FAT BEAD (TG948DD) hand-snug, then secure with a small amount of non-permanent thread locker if desired.
Confirm alignment and let any thread locker cure per instructions before use.
Fit Note: Some shotguns use different thread pitches or press-fit beads. Always check your model’s specifications or consult a qualified gunsmith if you’re unsure.
Benefits You’ll Notice Immediately
Faster target focus: The eye naturally centers on the brightest object—your bead—so your attention stays where it should.
Cleaner mount-to-shot flow: A large, bright bead helps confirm proper cheek weld and rib alignment on the fly.
Confidence in marginal light: Dawn and dusk are when game moves; the FAT BEAD is built for exactly those windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the TG948DD fit my shotgun?
A: If your factory front bead uses 5-40 threads, there’s a strong chance it will. Check your owner’s manual or measure the existing bead. If in doubt, ask a gunsmith to confirm thread pitch before ordering.
Q: Do I need a rear sight with this bead?
A: Most shotgunners run a front bead only and use the rib as a natural reference. The FAT BEAD simply makes the front index brighter and larger, improving speed and confidence.
Q: Is this legal for hunting seasons in my state?
A: Fiber-optic beads are generally allowed, but regulations vary. Always verify local hunting rules before heading afield.
Q: Will the fiber optics work at night?
A: Fiber optics gather ambient light; they’re brightest in daylight and legal shooting light. They are not tritium and do not glow in total darkness.
Q: Can I install it myself?
A: Many shooters do. If you’re unsure about thread pitch or proper torque, a qualified gunsmith can handle the swap quickly and safely.
