Shotgun Wear/Maintenance Question

I'm new to shotguns (and this forum), and am not sure if what I have is a problem or normal wear. I recently purchased a remington 870 express and after puting maybe 30 shells through it (plus likely the same amount of non-firing slide action), I have developed a nice scratch just under the slide on the very bottom of the mag tube.

I have noticed from pictures and some older used shotguns that slide wear in this area is normal, but I didn't expect to see this level of wear so soon. The single scratch has just about made it's way through the black coating. If it's a problem, I want to address it while it's new.

Also, are their any particular maintenance steps I should take to protect this area? I don't care about keeping it pretty, just protected.
