Cleaning Obsession
I don't understand the cleaning obsession for the 870. You will not get cut if you keep your fingers out of the action, and it is simply not necessary. The 870 is among the most reliable shotguns ever made. You can blow any lose trash out of the action with your mouth or a small air compressor. The carbon build up is not a factor. I have shot maybe 5,000 rounds through my 35 year old 870, and I have never cleaned the action other than blowing out the trash. This is not a low tolerance target rifle or combat rifle. Quit obsessing over the cleaning and just shoot and enjoy.
