Cleaning / Maintaining my Rem 870 Express Mag.?
I got a Rem 870 Home Defence model about two years ago. I added a 3 shot ext. tube, and put about 15 rds. though it. Unfortunately it's been "dry fired" about 15 times. I know better now. Anyway, while filing the little tab off for the ext. tube to be put in place, some filings got down into the mechanical area so I shot it out real well with some WD-40...shook it all out, and wiped everything down, then re lubed with Rem Oil. This was about a year ago, and hasn't been fired since. What would you all reccomend I do? How do I clean all the crap I sprayed in it, and lube it correctly? Sorry guys...I know gun safety, but not much about taking care of a shotgun. Pistols are a little different story. Thanks!!!
BTW, how badly did I hurt the 870 by dry firing it?
