I was going through my gun cabinet/safe trying to get things in order for a move out of state when I pulled my Smith Model 41 out of the shelf to find to my utter dismay, that the bluing had literally leached off the barrel onto the spongy foam stuff that they put in the gun safes for cushioning. I couldn't believe what had happened. (see pictures). From looking at the barrel, it appears that this is not traditional bluing but some other sort of finish on the barrel. Anyway, does anyone have a suggestion as to a fix for this short of sending it off to Smith to have it refinished? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
