I had my 870 chrome plated last year and have yet to shoot it.  My questions is do you guys think the chrome will discolor or blue like exhaust pipes.  The shop told me that it shouldn't. hinking.gif                       thanxs

Is it a brushed chrome or a really shiny chrome?  Either way I don't think you will get the barrel hot enough with normal shooting.  You would really have to work at it to get the barrel hot enough to discolor.

It's really shiny chrome, the pistol grips are the only things not chrome plated.

That gun takes awesomeness to an incredible level.  Worthy of Saddam's collection

Screw the naysayers, I think it looks cool!  And if you like it, that's the only justification required.  I'd put a real stock on it, myself.

To answer your question, exhaust pipes on bikes turn colors because they're exposed to hot exhaust gas in the 400-600F range for hours at a time.  I don't think running a bunch of shells through it is going to heat it up enough to worry it.  

Should be a snap to clean up, too!
