I know one guy that used oiled 0000 steel wool wrapped around a long drill bit to polish an 870 Express chamber. I only buy used Remington Police Magnums or Wingmasters these days. I'd never buy an Express when you can find a used Wingmaster or Police Magnum for under $300 if you look around just a little.
