How to Restore a Remington 870 Shotgun (Rust Bluing)
Rich Lynch was very kind to write a how-to article about restoration of a Remington 870 Wingmaster shotgun. I am more than happy to share it with you:
“Brilliant. I’ve just bought 3 kilograms of rust, with a lump of wood on the end” I said to myself as I opened up the bundle that’d just been handed to me, wrapped up in an old dirty bathroom towel.
I’d been keeping an eye out for a restoration project for myself for a while now, and when I was offered a 1954 Remington 870 Wingmaster for next to nothing, I jumped at the chance. It was sold as “old, beaten up, put away wet and rusted to hell.” That sounded a little like me after a heavy night on the town, but for that price, I was keen to give it a go.

There are a lot of talks about the effectiveness of shotguns. But we need to understand the role of the shotguns and what they can and can’t do.

Duracoat (Durabake in parkerize finish)
And here is one more interesting post from J.R.:
I added a few new parts and upgrades and Duracoated my 870. The Duracoat product is affordable and easy to use. I chose to use the Durabake in parkerize finish. I spent about an hour prepping and spraying then baked for 3 hours at 180 degrees fahrenheit. The finished product looks great, I will send an update after my 870 is back in one piece.

Remington 870 Forend Wrench
J.R. sent me info about the Remington 870 Forend Wrench he received:
“I purchased it from barnesgunparts.com for $25.00 shipped. It looks cheaply made at first but after a closer look you can see that it is actually very well made and assembled by hand. I have seen different forend wrenches for about the same price and twice as much but poorly designed. Brownells forend wrench is what I originally wanted because of the design but this one is very similar and half the price.
