I scratched the bottom of the barrel of my 5.5" stainless gloss steel Ruger Old Army Revolver. I don't know how, I think it was when I took the base pin off when the barrel was still hot, I think it was much softer then? Is there a way to buff this out? Should I send it back to ruger to do this? Will they? Or can any gunsmith take care of this?
Depends on how deep the scratch is, but as long as the barrell isn't plated it should be able to be buffed out. Ask around for a good gunsmith. It is amazing what they can do.
