Don't modify it for now / you have a good serviceable shotgun. Go out and have some fun with it - put some shells thru it.

I would recommend you get a book or a buddy to help you completely strip the gun down ( take the forend off, the bolt and follower, remove the trigger assembly ) and clean inside the receiver as well as all the parts. Then lube it real well, I prefer Break Free, and put it back together before you fire it.

I would also spray some WD-40 all over the outside of the gun - barrel, receiver, stock - and wipe it down good. Remove the chokes too - and clean out the threads in the barrel and the choke tube threads - and lube it before you put it back ( Break Free ) real liberally on the threads.

Congratulations on the new gun.
