I agree with Ned on the Scattergun model... but he is forgetting the fact that the Marine Magum has an almost indestructable Electroless Nickel finish that will FAR outlast any bluing or Parkerized finish. Will withstand 1000+ of salt spray with no damage and does not scratch.
My MM has the SureFire 6V foregrip and has had the barrel done by Hans Vang... (These are 2 modifications I consider a MUST have and well worth the money. Hans can do them both VERY reaonably and his work is second to none!) The only thing I have left to do is have Hans install the Ghost Ring sights and then I am done. The only problem I have EVER had with long guns is finish rust and pitting... The Marine Magnum's finish is TOTALLY maintenace free.
