I grew up with a 20 ga. 870. Driving back from a South Dakota Pheasant hunt, several years ago my hunting partner asked if I ever cleaned the gun and I answered no. We got to figuring when I got the gun and how much it has been shot. I figured the ole 870 was shot at lease 10,000 rounds at gamebirds and never cleaned and no problems. Now, that I have seen the light and use doubles I will hardly look at one without at least swiping it off. Dan
