Is it possible to touch up a rust blued barrel that has a slight blue blemish without a total redo? I own a double that has an area on top of the barrel measuring about 6 mm x 6 mm with bare metal. Im not sure if a dent may have been raised there before I took over as caretaker of this nice gun?? Is this something that can be touched up? Ive tried a bluing pen before and didnt get a good result, so thats out.
Socialism is almost the worst.

you can rust blue the spot with multiple cycles of rust, steam, card/blend just the small area....it might not match perfectly but then it might....

I think you would be happy using Mark Lee Express blue. Easy to use and can be used for touchup.

I have had very good experience with doing this when i know the same rust blue was used originally. And i have not had good luck with mystery rust blues as the original process.
You wont know until you try. The best way is to prep the area needing done and then run a number of cycles on just the spot to get it to catch up tho the surounding bluing. Then do a few overall applications to even things out. By the time you are into it, you will know if it is working or not.
