The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Is a stock Remington 870 Marine Magnum's bore plated?

I was considering having Hans Vang do his VangComp/Port job on my Matrine Magnum. Hans says that the stock bore is not ( to his knowledge ) chrome plated. I was wondering if anyone might know if it indeed is. If so, would the VangComp work (which would of course remove any existing plating ) make it harder to clean and maintain the weapon?

Thanks,

Ben
