Barrel wear/scratch removal

Scratches in the finish, or scratches in the metal? If it's a DIY project, the former requires light sanding to blend, and a spray-N-bake refinish... the later requires a lot more sanding. :)

The easiest way is to take it to someone who will glassbead the barrel and refinish it... chances are, it will look the best too. Actually, if this is a common occurrence with you, you can buy a cheapo DIY abrasive blast kit from Harbor Freight for around $60 and up.

tucker301 has it about right... a bit less, a bit more. A good refinish shop will produce a finished product that looks new to better than new. Duracoat is, perhaps one of the most popular DIY and shop refinishes. Gun Kote is another... much older product, and Cerakote. Check them all out.

 

Again, if you're a DIY kinda guy, and you have multiple projects now and in the future, an investment in a media blaster and a few Duracoat kits will save you some money, provide a nice sense of accomplishment... and a first class refinish job.

 

Cheers,
