Title: Gun scratches cover up?
Post by: RiverRoost on April 01, 2020, 05:14:33 PM
I'm particular to all my hunting stuff especially my guns and bows and my turkey gun got a decent scratch on the barrel this morning RIGHT ON TOP of the barrel and now every time I sit down with it it's gonna be staring me in the face. Any way to "fill" this or color it in?

I have no expertise to share but am offering my moral support.  I like to take care of my stuff and keep things nice.  I'm anxious to see what others suggest.

I'm not sure if it makes a lot of difference, but perhaps you should share if your barrel is blued or camo coated?

IF IT'S BLUED, BROWNELLS - OXPHO-BLUE
CLEAN THE AREA WITH A DRY PAPER TOWEL AND THEN RUB IT ON WITH A Q-TIP

I bought an old Stevens single shot 12 to hunt deer for primitive gun season . it was very scratched up the stocks and the block, I sanded wood down and refinished, was wondering what to touch up scratches with. I ended up using a permanent marker,  it I'm looking into the Brownell's

On my guns I keep it clean and just let the scars stay, adds character
and stories to the gun, really makes it mine, warts and all. :OGturkeyhead:
