i've got a scratch on the barrel of my rifle that looks deep enough that it's going to rust one day.
is there anyway to fix it?

If it gets wet just brush it out with CLP.  It should be fine.

Yes.  Remove daily from the safe and oil it.

Thought #1: What about one of those instant bluing products? I realize Colt AR's are not blued but I'm talking about a judicious application, meaning use a toothpick or very fine brush, and even tho may not be a perfect match, if it's just a scratch who's going to notice? Plus, who knows, maybe they even have that bluing stuff in black or dark gray to better match your barrel's finish?

Thought #2: tape the barrel up except for the scratch, could be tedious! Then use the closest matching color of GunKote on the area?

Does a more knowledgeable individual want to weigh in on this?
