I have several Remington 870 and 1100s and recently picked up a little 20 gauge LW Express with a youth stock and 21 inch Remchoke barrel that is handy, compact, a lot of fun to shoot. However, while it's obvious the Express model has a much rougher finish all around than the standard Wingmasters and 870s it has also become apparent to me that the same holds true for the inside of the barrel. Because it is quite rough inside the barrel tends to hold on the the lead, powder and plastic wad residues very tenaciously making it difficult to clean the barrel quickly and thoroughly. Has anyone else noticed this problem, too? I'm wondering how feasible it might be to polish out the bore using a swab on a clearning rod plus fine valve grinding compound/polish and an electric drill. Has anyone else attempted this on an 870 barrel? If so, how did you make out? Are there any tricks I should know about? Please advise. Thanks!
