[QUOTE="rlongnt, post: 2292320, member: 665"] Ive had a couple of newer 870 Express models and both would get a dusting of rust if not cared for. In May I shot a round of clays and threw it in my safe without cleaning. The sweat all over it was 100% my fault but I was shocked at how rusted the receiver surface was after just two days. I was able to wipe it down with CLP and it all came off no worse for the wear. To be honest it looked exactly like my M16 would the next morning after dripping sweat on it all day. M16/AR15 ext. barrels rust just as easily as the receiver on an 870 but I never hear people feeling like Colt was being cheap on barrel finishing. Sweat = Rust period. CLP or whatever oil you use is your friend. : ) I really like the 870 platform so Ill probably have it cerakoted black someday. [/QUOTE]
