I am about to order a magazine extension for my Remington 870 Express from Choate Machine and Tool. They offer their extensions in both a blued and a parkerized version. I just called them and asked this question:
Which extension best matches the finish on a Remington 870 Express?
The woman who answered the phone wasn't all that helpful. She kept asking the same question over and over--"Is the shotgun blued or parkerized?" And I kept explaining over and over, "It's not technically parkerized, but it's a duller, rougher finish than a normal blued gun." I finally gave up.
I'm wondering if any of you know which version would best match the finish on the 870 Express.
I may just have to order both and send one back, but that's going to cost me more shipping. I may call Choate again and see if I get a different rep with more sense. You'd think they'd be familiar with various shotguns since they sell so many accessories for them.
