There's a solution to that scratch, but it's pricey, but the equivalent in protection of getting your car cquartzed or optiguarded.

There's a company called Robar here in Phoenix that does Teflon electroless nickle coating on firearms that ads some serious protection to surfaces. The coating is called NP3 (they also have an even better one for better corrosion resistance) called NP3 Plus.

The work costs about as much as an axleback, but it'll let you run your gun almost dry (as in, with little lubricant) b/c of the self lubricating properties of the coating. It's a silvery-like color so it actually works well if you liked the stainless look.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.
