I've been wondering why there aren't more O/U shotguns with silver coloured barrels.

I get that it may cause glare in bright sunlight but a nice matte finish ought to solve that issue.

See that Browning do the Citori SS Lightning, is there anything else bar having something else refinished/coated.

There are a few 'marine' shotguns that have a silver coloured finish, but they tend to be pumps and semis. Remington 870, Mossberg 500 and so on, although availability over here I have no idea about. At the bottom end of the scale Hatsan do their pump and semi as 'marine' models - they actually look OK in the flesh. Haven't seen any O/U though!

There's always the The Ruger Red Label Now back in production, it has a stainless receiver.

I fancy, one mainly because I like shiny things..Who doesn't??
