Never knew about the blued thing in which it appears to be. Thanks for the info I found some kits and it doesn't look to hard to fix up.

Does anyone have experience with getting rid of rust and repainting a gun barrel? I lost my guns during the Joplin tornado and on the 5 month since the tornado I got to pick my .22 rifle up from the police station. Thankfully some citizen turned it in and the police were able to use the registration numbers to track me down. The woods got some scratches, the rear sights broken, and the barrel has minor rust spots from where the paints been chipped off. I used Remington oil all over the gun and it fired a clip smoothly which is amazing. Back to the barrel, can I lightly sand the barrel and repaint it myself? Any tips would be great. I e-mailed the gun manufacturer and they sent back a generic e-mail stating to mail it in and see what the warranty covers which I doubt is damage from an f-5 tornado.
