I'm new to tfl and may be asking a question previously answered.
I just purchased a rem 870 express turkey 12g. with 21" barrel (my first 870). I put it together per instructions and after racking the slide a couple of times the mag tube is scratched up now. It's worn through the matte finish, down to the metal on one side. I've now racked it about a dozen times and it's getting worse.
Is this normal or should I send it in. I'm prepared to live with it but HATE to have a new gun with marks on it. I'm pretty hard on my stuff and they tend to get messed up fast but I would like a fair chance to try and take care of it.
Thanks in advance.
