Smaller tests have been conducted by reviewers which somewhat verify these results. A second test was conducted, where over 10,000 rounds were discharged through a single 887 barrel, and the barrel's coating showed no signs of separation. Company engineers subjected the 887 to salt-corrosion and submersion tests and checked for leaks and separation in the polymer, and none were found. Remington claims that the ArmorLokt finish is impenetrable, and has several tests to help back up this claim. Manufacturers have come up with several ways to help protect a gun's metal surface, but overmolding the gun with a polymer is a unique concept. In this way, the steel provides the strength for the gun while the polymer protects the inner workings from the elements, including inclement weather and resulting corrosion. The entire receiver and barrel of the 887 is coated with a glass-filled nylon material which protects the steel interior of the gun. The 887's most striking feature is the ArmorLokt finish. The Remington 887's brochure confirms this by comparing itself to the Mossberg 835 and the Benelli Nova. The look of the 887 is also frequently compared to that of the Benelli Nova. In this way, it competes with the Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag, which is designed specifically for firing 3 ½″ magnum shells. ContentsĪs the name suggests, the 887 Nitro Mag can chamber 3 ½″ magnum shells. This gives the 887 a "space age" look which is one of the gun's more defining features. It is noted for using a polymer finish called ArmorLokt, which is designed to survive any type of weather condition and leaves no exterior surfaces to rust. The Remington Model 887 Nitro Mag is a pump-action shotgun manufactured by Remington Arms Company, Inc.
