One of my shotguns has a returning problem of white salt like deposit right on top of the barrel. A friend just showed me his pump yesterday and has the same reacurring problem. Anyone have this happen and know how to get rid of it? I scrubbed the spot with a bronze brush and oil/solvent. It is a very small spot. Thanks.

Quit doing coke lines of the top of your barrel and it will go away. :D

Got a pic? I have never seen this on my shotguns. where are you storing them?

Ha a friend just PM`d me that exact same response. The guns are in a safe with a rust inhibitor in the safe. It is only on one shotgun out of 8, and there are other rifles and handguns in there that are unaffected.
 
I would agree with 223, bluing salts creeping out of / between somewhere - barrel to frame connection / from under a rib. Lots of fine oil in all the nooks and crannies would help but may not solve the problem. --- John 303.
 
It is a new gun . I will put up a picture, the spot is very very small:

It looks like an acid flux residue problem to me and the only real solution to that problem is to refinish the barrels. This type of issue is a manufacturing problem and if the gun is new may be covered by warranty. I would talk to the manufactures first.
 
Run hot water from the tap over the area while scrubbing with an old toothbrush.

Do it long enough for the metal to get hot. Try to avoid allowing water to get into the ejection mechanism or other small spaces.

Dry the metal with a dry cloth while still warm then apply fine oil.

Easy to do and worth a try. Let us know if that works.
