I understand the 870's have had some problems - but I still wouldn't change them right now. I see a lot of 870's that still have the original followers and they seem ok.
I understand WD-40 displaces water - its not a preservative or a rust inhibitor - but I disagree that using it will make the gun rust. Its still a good cleaner to spray on the external portion of a gun / then wipe it down before you put it in a safe. If you shot the gun wet - it has to be clean and dry before its stored / and you have to prevent condensation - or you will get rust. Clean it every time you shoot it / store in a heated and dry place if you can - and check it for rust often. There are rust inhibitors out there BoShield, etc but spraying a light coat of oil on the gun is fine too - like Rem Oil or Rig Oil willl help - but you can still get rust using them as well. There is no short cut for routine maintenance - and ideally storing your guns where you won't get any condensation will be a big help.
