Hey everyone,
I got a used 870 express for $150 on an auction, and finally got to look at it in person. There's a slight orange tint on the gun (inside the receiver and outside on the barrel). Also, it's very dirty. I don't think there's any pitting. What the heck should I do to save this gun? I feel like taking a high-powered hose to it and then removing the rust (somehow). The inside of the receiver looks bad...quite a bit of orange and dirt. My main concern is getting any rust out of the nooks and crannies...
Thanks!
