    Wilson will probably do whatever you want. You may not need to go with their full package. Might be worth a call.

        The replacement parts for an 870 might cost more than a brand new gun.

            870 is pretty easy to work with, you could probably swap the parts out yourself and then have it duracoated.

              That must be one well used 870. I don't remember anyone wearing one out, except for the ones used for trapshooting. Most of the time, when you wear out the parts, the receiver is worn out.

                Its old/abused and I'm the second owner. Got it for "free" and no I didn't steal it. Original barrel was a 26" vent rib. Replaced with 18" barrel, mag tube extension, synthetic fore end and stock.

                    Give JD at AI&P Tactical http://www.aiptactical.com a call tomorrow afternoon. Most likely your gun doesn't need to much. My guess is not much will be so worn out it will need replacing. I have yet to see anyone go though a bolt, hammer or trigger. Those parts were designed to pretty much last the life of the receiver. I shoot more rounds in a year then some people on this board do in ten. While I haven't kept a running tally on how many rounds have gone though each gun, I do have some 870s that are well worn and so far the only things I have ever had to replace have been small parts like springs here and there. I am willing to bet your gun, minus the re-finishing is no different.

                      i'd suggest you contact AI&P Tactical as well (aippi here on the forum). i believe he can assist you with all your requests and needs, including your shotgun's finish.

                        If you are in the Socal area, I would contact my old friend Dean Wilkerson 818 988 7266, in the SFV---great, friendly gunsmith---I have been using his services for 20+ years.

                            Ditto this ... JD does excellent work, I've seen his builds firsthand.
