Re-bluing advice - 01/24/16 01:23 AM
I have a Browning semi-auto that I've had for 20+ years, it's in great shape overall, but the barrel is starting to develop some (shallow/superficial) pits from a combination of dings and saltwater exposure on coastal duck hunts.
My question is whether having the barrel re-blued at a gunsmith's is worth the cost. Will it just gloss over the pitting, or will a good bluing remove them to the point where they won't be "seed" sites for future rust/corrosion?
