Try as I might, I cannot find the gas system on my Remington 870.

Not to Hi-Jack the WD-40 thread .............

Remington made a single shot 870 with a gas reduction recoil system about 20 years ago. It went where the mag. tube and made for one of the best then and still one of the best soft shooting trap guns ever built. Unless you are a trap shooter it's not something the average shooter will know about.

WD40 may not be a good lubricant, but using it to hose down a firearm after a wet day afield or after a reblue isn't A Bad Thing <tm>. Just remember to get in there afterwards and use a good gunk-cutter to get all of the goomba (technical term for powder residue and general spooge from the WD40 and gun oils) off the firearm as applicable.

yeah, me too

I've done the same thing: used it for Water Displacement, but then immediately sprayed all the wd-40 off with brake cleaner or gun blast, then followed with CLP or whatver.
I never let it sit.
