Rifle sights on shotgun barrel

Anyone recommend a good smith who can install rifle sights on the BARREL of a Mossberg 9200A1 and 500?

I don't want the receiver mounted type, I want the rear sight on the rear of the barrel, standard rifle-type sights (not ghost)

I called Mossberg and they don't do this, that I need to find a smith who can braze one on.

The 9200 is parkerized and would need to be re-done. The 500 is blued.

Thanks

    Mossberg manufactures a slug barrel for the model 500. With rifle sights!

    If you ain't got a sense of humor you got no business bein here!

    Don't seem to remember saying I wanted a slug barrel. I don't.[xx(]

    Sarcasm isn't required plautus... I assumed the same thing, not many people want them for shotshells - what's the point?
    Now as far as ideas, one might be to buy an aftermarket vent rib barrel (if yours doesn't have one) and they put on the rib-clamped style that are commonly used for turkey. I doubt they are as accurate as regular adjustable rifle sights, but except for slugs I doubt there'd be much difference.

    Why braze it on? There are low temp silver solders that will do a fine job without messing up the finish etc.
