Remington 878 12 gage

[sierrahiker]

Just picked up a 878 in great shape. Gun has not been fired or cleaned since 1969(put away dirty). I did a complete cleaning of the gun and did not find any problems except for some surface rust at the last 1 inch of the barrel...what would be the best way to treat it...or should I just add oil and leave it alone

I would get some brass wool and liberally apply oil to the spot with the rust

Penetrating oil and brass wool very light pressure.

thanks...

Will shoot it tomorrow and clean it up a little more

Use steel wool if you want to remove some metal, but use evapo-rust if you want to remove rust only. You can find them at auto-zone. Youtube the videos.
