First Non-Ruger this year came home today.

Cmon, I couldnt say no to an 870 police magnum for $269. She's a bit beat up on the outside but the internals look like new. Took a couple hour to really scrub it down. This will be my new project gun. Want to get it looking nice again in the long run. Ill be sure to get up a range report as soon as possible.

If you get up close the parkerizing has quite a few dings in it from the racks they sat in. No big deal but soemthing to work on.

Here's the main scratch. Its only the finish. It hasnt dug into the actual steel at all. Anyone know any easy tricks for touching up parkerizing?

Its right in front of the side saddle, on the barrel. Please excuse the cheap game loads. Just needed some shells for picture purposes, and its all I had laying around. Time to start stocking up on buck again.
