Ive taken a few weeks to convert a 1970s 870 bird gun into a simple HD shotgun. Hogue furniture, barrel length 18.5, 2 shot extension from Wilson, ghost ring sights, flashlight, etc.
She shoots good and looks to perform well in the intended role. My problem is the barrel and frame are blue, and worn with some scratches and the extension is matt black and she just like a collection of parts rather than a the aesthetically pleasing HD gun like the photos I've seen here. Im thinking cerakote or just a simple parkarized finish. Can anyone recommend a refinisher. My local smiths are not really shotgun guys and have offered to reblue the whole gun but I'm looking for something sexier. Thanks |
| If you want it parkerized, look at AI&P tactical's refinishing service. JD has a great reputation and specializes in 870s. |

This guy does good work and is very reasonable.

I bought a parkerized 18" barrel and mag tube extension from him several months ago and spoke with him over the phone on several occasions. He is an honest speaking, hard working individual who takes pride in his craft. The finish on the barrel and extension was awesome. Definitely recommend JD. |

Adco Firearms is another option. $95 for the shotgun.
