of my colt due to nicks/scratches. I've been keeping them oiled up good, but I just
wanted to know what would be the best thing to use to cover them up to keep

Birchwood Casey cold blue paste. Get it at Walmart, clean the spot and apply with a Q-Tip. Let it set a few minutes and wipe off. Re-apply until it looks right. I've used it for years on lot's of guns (blue/black/whatever). Works great!
Would this work for larger areas on blued barrels/receivers if your not concerned about even finish just protection? I have an old .22LR bolt action that could use some love. The gun is as old as my father, still shoots like a champ, but the barrel needs some love.
Clean and degrease. Hit with a spot of high temp krylon.
I was talking specifically about Birchwood Casey that hillmillenia mentioned. Is that an aluminum product?
I don't think I would own an AR if they entire thing was steel...:)
Birchwood-Casey makes two products-Liquid Cold Blue (Steel Only) and Aluminum Black (Aluminum Only).
If you apply Liquid Cold Blue to worn or scratched areas this is only covers you for cosmetic purposes. This will not prevent rust. You will still need to wipe things down with oil.
Off the subject; My personal choice of Liquid Cold Blue is the product offered by G96. It is a very close match to most barrel park jobs I’ve used it on for touch-ups.
ok, i just want to thank everybody for the help.
