Okay, first, parkerizing is (typically) somewhat rough in texture. This holds oil, but also holds dirt and lint. It has it's good and bad points, but is usually thought of as a "military-type" finish, like the finish on an AR-15, etc. I'm not sure what finish your Remington has, but I have seen VERY few parkerized Remingtons other than those built up by Scattergun Inc. Chances are you have a matte or satin blued finish, so the barrel PROBABLY won't match the receiver. That said, Mossberg replacement barrels are excellent in my opinion, and usually priced rather reasonably. If you're concerned about the finish matching, visit a gun store and ask to see a parkerized rifle/shotgun and you'll get an idea what it will look like. Everyones parkerizing is a little different in color, and Mossbergs tend to be a slightly greenish medium grey. Hope this helps.
