The Electroless Nickle finish on the 870 Marine is about 100 times tougher than whatever Mossberg uses on their Marine shotgun. I have heard continual reports of the Mossberg finish rusting and discoloring. The Remington EN finish is just about impervious to Salt water or anything else for that matter. Almost imposible to scratch or mar, self lubricating. No choice... The Remington wins hands down.
