remington or mossberg

[m24shooter]

but i didnt see anybody post that you can unload a mossberg by just reaching up to the magazine tube and press the shell catch the round drops right in your hand you dont even have to take it off your shoulder to do it. Your not going to do that with a 870.

The only difference is that when you reach into the receiver to depress the shell stop on the Remington you are already moving the lifter out of the way, so it isn't that big of a difference under those circumstances.

I will give the 870 something the ones I have seen do have chromelined bore.

What 870s are chrome lined?

Look all I said was try both models make your own choice.But if you most know
you have to press and hold the shell holder out of the way to press the shell catch on the 870. Mossberg you just press shell catch thats it.

Both models are very good pump shotguns you can not go wrong with ether one
far as i am concerned they both have there +s and -s

I respectfully disagree on your assessment of Mossbergs. 2 of the 3 I have owned were unreliable. I don't trust them and probably never will again.

Are you sure it was just not steel in the white?

It is certainly not standard and I've never heard of an 870 (even in the Mil/LE line, which is where you would expect it to be) having a chrome bore.
How do you know they had chrome bores?

It was older model 16 ga that some one had sitting in the back of a leaky car trunk
it had a far amount of rust all over it enought that parts of the reciver where pitted.
I was going to burnish the bore I made one pass with some steel whool looked down the bore it was a mirror all the way up to the crown then you could see flaking
of about 1/2 inch from the crown. looked at the steel wool and you could see silvery
light grey specs. I figured the rust had gotten under the chrome lining.

The other one was a 12ga it looked like it had chromelined it might have been in white it but it was well taken care of. 16ga was almost rusted solid though exept
for the bore.
