Might be a silly question but i have the standard 870 express in black barrel and wood stock. Is the "Blue finish" not the same as the stock black?

Correct, the "stock black" you're referring to is most likely the parkerized finish that most 870's have. The "blue finish" is more of what you'd find on an old service revolver; more of a shiny satin finish than the dull black texured (parkerized) finish you likely have.

You have got several and somewhat confusing answers. If your 870 is newer then as MattG stated it is most likely the black parkerized finish that is somewhat textured. If your 870 is old or vintage then it will be the traditional blueing, blue finish that is very smooth, shinny and you can almost see the metal through the finish; they are not the same.

Not a silly question, it is confusing. It is the same color. The Remington finish is a black coat with a blue hint to it. The blue is only visible under direct light and is very faint, you wouldn't see it if you weren't looking for it. If you have had yours for a while and put some rounds through it it will be really difficult to see. This will match your shotgun, but of course will look newer (until it gets a little range time on it and a few weekends of hunting) the extra two rounds are WAY worth the money, and it installs in minutes easily. I recommend it for anyone who loves their 870

Yes. The bluing they use is basically black. I think that "bluing" is one of those generic words like kleenex.The extended magazine matched the factory finish perfectly. And mine has a wood stock too. For me this is a tool and I could see absolutely no reason to pay the premium for a black polymer stock or a "parkerized" finish.

black is a dull finish, and blue is a shiny finish , so no they are not the same.

I don't know I can tell you that mine has a few years on it as it was purchased at a pawn shop and the barrel and stock was beat up. I'm not home now but will view the serial when I get a chance to match up with yours.

I installed it on the Magpul version of the 870 (synthetic fore end and stock) with no issue on the receiver as intended. Took a while to "loosen" up the individual shell holders (just load/unload it a bunch), but it works great now. Retention seems to be spot-on. If you bought extended bolts/hardware I would imagine you could mount directly to the stock, but I didn't do it this way, and I would think it might be kind of awkward.

I don't know if MT is right or not. All I can tell you is I ordered these and didn't notice the "black" designation until I saw your question. I shoot Carbon Express Code Red Maxima on my bow and Carbon Express Blue Streaks on my cross bow. The threads looked different to me but they fit both the bolts and the arrows just fine. I have seen the devastation these heads bring and I cant wait to compare them to the swhackers on my own hunts. Happy Hunting.

Mine has a shiny chrome barrel. It wasn't very expensive. Maybe paid $10 or $15 for it.

I don't see any sheen or gloss. Appears to be a matte finish. It's a very nice sturdy stock.

Yes the stock is black. The stock does fit the hinged floor plate. I have the same rifle. Fits amazing and feels great.

I have a 870 express. With a 26 inch barrel it's too long, I have a alt 18 inch barrel that works well with this scabbard. Hope that helps

No. Very nice comfortable stock. Very happy with it. Hogue makes many stocks that come on factory rifles now too such as Howa, Remington etc.

No, BS = brushed Stainless and BN = Brushed Nickel. It might be close, but they consider it two different finishes.

Flat black but probably won't match your barrel. I put one on a stainless barrel and one on a standard "black" barrel. Both look fine (looks outstanding on stainless), work great, reasonably priced and shipped fast. Go for it.

I just got mine in the mail today and put it on. the color matched up and looks sweet as hell on it. I have a 1911 Rock Island.

I was just shooting today with a guy who had an 870. While I can't say for 100%, it does look like it would fit an 870.

Mossberg 500, 590, & 88 can all use the same shoulder stock. Forearms, however, are different on the 88's.

I installed this on my 870 with a blackhawk fore grip, but the blackhawk fore grip interfered with the action. The only way to avoid this mistake is to find a fore grip that isn't very long, try a magpul

No. Mine is black for my .270 and I've had it awhile. Still works great, fits perfect, and looks new. Also does its job reducing recoil while adding some length to the gun. I'm tall so nothing but praise here!

.920 is the bill barrel. I am not sure if hogue makes a stock for standard barrels. For what it is worth, I was going to keep my 10/22 stock but figured info get a cool new stock, might as well get the barrel.
