Where are the spots on the barrel, and do you have access to park solution? If the spots are between the front sight block/gas block and the muzzle, you can mask off the muzzle and FSB/GB areas with duct tape and dip the front of the barrel in park solution to touch up the scratched areas.
If you don't have access to park solution, you can use birchwood casey gun blue touch up pen to hit small scratches to at least take the shine off. |

The scratches are fairly substantial, running around the barrel aft of the gas block area and again in front of the chamber. |

Hmm. I guess it boils down to how much you want to spend. On the cheaper end there's the rattle can, and on the other end of the spectrum you could blast and repark the section of the barrel between the gas block and the chamber. How bad are the scratches? If they're big, and leave lots of shiny spots, they might need to be blasted before a repark so the park takes, if you go that route.

If its only a few small scratches I've had good luck with just degreasing and then cold blue. Follow up with oil.

Cold blue.
If you're going to try and touch up with a spot repark, you might as well just repark the whole barrel. |
