Recently purchased a Remington 870 Express 7 shot. I like the weapon a lot. However I've read several posts about changing certain parts out to improve reliability. What parts are they and does anyone actually know if they're apt to fail? My gun has the polymer trigger guard, it has the factory magazine extension that has a ball detention style retainer. Has the sling swivel mount on the barrel/mag tube. The bolt and carriage are black (guessing bluing of some sort) The stock has the inlay texture at the grip but is otherwise good old synthetic. I like the gun's cosmetics as are but if there is something that could fail quickly with normal use than I want it changed. I read something somewhere about installing the stainless bolt and carriage. Have also heard something about changing the magazine tube spring. Any posts are appreciated and if I need to give more info about my weapon to tell if I need these upgrades just let me know.
