I have a Remington 870 Marine Magnum. I am considering taking it from it's original matte silver appearance to a high-gloss polish. If I do this, it will be done without tools, just Flitz metal polish, cloth, and elbow grease. I've pulled this off with other [matte stainless] guns in the past, with great results. However, my 870 is, I think, nickel plated as it comes from the factory. My question: Is my idea safe, or could I end up damaging the finish on my shotgun? Thought I'd ask for opinions on this before I actually begin. Thanks, guys.
