Pick The Color Of My 870

[BossmanPJ]

Voted Grey, but not a metallic grey. A dull "marine coat" grey.

Same thought I had go grey like the old SP1 Colt Lowers.

If you're going with a Colt finish that's a good classic it has to be Colt's Royal Blue...

 

[BUFF7MM]

I voted OD, but I like the Grey also.

It's an 870, the wood furniture stays!!

 

[Indiana Jones]

I said matte black since there was no option for the entire thing to be color case hardened.

How about pink polka dot. It looks really good in this picture.

Always been a fan of wood.

Really! And you posted it here. Word will get around.

Sorry. This was just too easy................

I was going to suggest "muddy girl" camo.

Are you painting the metal or just the stock? If you're going with blued steel, I like the look of gray furniture.

If you're open to painting the metal, I'd recommend OD green for the metal and then green/brown/black for the furniture. You can get a pretty good approximation of marpat with sea sponges.

My vote but with zombie green

 

[lowoncash]

I've seen green used to identify non lethal round shotguns.

 

[Tihsho]

Generally orange is used for less than lethal...

During the riots last year, I saw some yellow/green non-lethal shotguns used by BPD. I would think that the coloration of those would be standardized.

What does that thing weigh?

Forgive them, they are still in Maryland and they know not what they do.

The zombie-green coloring would be appropriate given the location and nature of the threats in that scenario.

You could coat it with the black matte, then while it is still tacky, back off and “dust” it with the OD. It leaves a very slightly rough speckle surface that tones down the black. It sort of looks like the black is getting moldy. I've also done the reverse on a Mossberg 500: coat with OD first then dust with the black. That tones down the OD a little. Maybe practice on a piece of pipe first because it is very easy to over-do the dusting.

No idea, I just threw "shotgun gray stock" into Google to get an idea of what it'd look like. Certainly looks like it would be plenty heavy. "Heavy is good, heavy is reliable."

 

[K31]

Rainbow.
