Hello!

I have an 870 and I applied paint to the receiver of the gun because the finish on the newer 870's leave something to be desired in terms of rust prevention. I did not apply any product to the inside of the receiver. While I would not suggest or see a reason to apply product to the inner receiver of an 870 I do not think it would cause any major problems on anything other than the slide arm "trenches". You would not want anything in there gumming up the works. The ejector you spoke of does not come out without some gunsmithing, they are made to be permanently attached. To get the forearm and receiver out you first need to take out the trigger mechanism. Then, you can slide out the forearm/slide rails/receiver. To get these items to slide out you have to push on the spring loaded bar that keeps the shells in the magazine during cycling. Getting the receiver back in is a little more difficult because you need to push a lever on both slides while sliding the parts back in. But, if I can do it anyone can.


Again, I do not see a reason to nor would suggest applying anything to the inside of the receiver.

Good hunting!
