I have been wanting a good 3 gun shotgun for a while now and for Christmas I got one. It’s a Remington versamax sportsman. Does anyone have tips or advice on good upgrades? Mostly what brand extended mag tube? Magwell port work?
 
A Nordic or Taccom tube is what you're after. If you're shooting optics and quad loading you'll want at least a 12 round capacity.
Port work is easy if you are handy, if not any of the usual shotgun smiths do a great job, but I'm partial to Mark Roth because he's local-ish to me and he's a great guy.
 
As mentioned above, the aluminum receivers on these are easy to relieve around the port with light tools and can be made to look pretty good if you go slow.

Match saver might be nice, or you could probably make one after a couple minutes running down stuff at home depot. Not a requirement by any means, however.
 
There are several internal parts that can be swapped out with Benelli parts to make the gun more reliable, there is a list floating out somewhere on the internet.

Here are the Brownells part numbers:

301-000-075WB FIRING PIN SPRING
301-000-065WB LOCKING HEAD PIN
301-000-007WB HAMMER, GLOSS, AFTER S/N M104801
