Remington 870
Do they or don't they (remignton that is) make an 870 with a 7-shot magazine as opposed to the ubiquitous 6 shot I see everywhere? I seem to recall seeing one in Shotgun News but I haven't been able to find one on GB. If so, where can I get one?

is there any way to change an 870 that only shoots 2 3/4 inch shells to accomidate 3 or 3 1/2 inch shells? 0 -
I usually say "never say never", but, in this case ---- never.

It's most likely lacquer stik or even grease pencil.
I've cleaned up a couple like that with lacquer thinner and a small natural bristle brush. Don't use a plastic tooth brush. Lacquer thinner will dissolve the brush and you'll have a different kind of mess.0 -

Drug store rubbing alcohol and toothpicks, is all you need.0 -
I strongly doubt Remington did this. It was probably an owner. Lots of people like to do this sort of thing to "customize" their guns or make logos pop out. IMO, this kind of thing makes the most sense for gun controls; eg "Safe/fire" and the like.
You can fill in engraved lettering/serial numbers on a gun with ordinary (kids/crayola) crayon. You can just rub it in vigorously. Some like to pre-heat the gun or crayon to soften it up a bit, but you don't have to. Then you rub off the excess with a cloth. Some people use ordinary nail polish. For nail polish, you just fill in the letters, let the stuff dry, then wipe off the excess.
I'm sure there are other things you could use, but those are the two simplest and most common, and they're both easily reversible.
Best way to get the stuff out depends on what exactly it is. For nail polish, nail polish remover works cheaply and easily. Drip it in, let it sit for a few seconds, and the paint will melt right up. You can follow up with soft cloth dipped in polish remover, or q-tips, as necessary.
For crayon, paint thinner can work. "Goof off" or similar products designed to dissolve crayon wax also work (and I've personally used these). There are other solvents that can work. Just stay away from plastic gun parts with these things!
Here you may need something to help scrape the stuff out. Toothpick, brush, or even Q-tips will help to lift the softened crayon out.0 -
