I don't mean to sound like I know anything... cause I don't... but I have just gotten through doing a lot of research prior to buying a Remington 870 Marine magnum. Here is what I found.
1. The Remingtons have a steel reciever with the Mossbergs using an alloy ( the 590A1 may indeed use a steel reciever but regular 500's do not)
2. The Remington 870 Express now has a composit trigger group like the Mossberg 500 while the Mossberg 590A1 and the Reminton 870 Police and Marine trigger group is still aluminium.
3. The Remington HD express has 3 dimples in the Mag tube that must be removed to use Mag extensions. The 870 Police and Marine do not. This is not a problem with the Mossberg weapons.
After examining both weapons I found the fit and finish of the Remingtons to be superior...BUT I am convinced that either brand will do just as well. Handle both and see what you think. The Mossberg is a VERY good buy for the money.. I just liked the Rem Marine Magnum better.
