Well, if I had the marine version I'd go all weather and get a plastic conventional stock and fore end. Wood will swell and crack under adverse conditions. My Mossberg 500 is all plastic but blued- I keep an oily rag and a can of Breakfree on me when in the field to stop rust. There is a huge aftermarket for the 870. One of Amercica's favorite shotguns and you can't go wrong with it.
