With my Parent's health problems over the last few years, my Father's spoon collection has been put on the back burner. He turns 70 in a few days, and is kinda itching to make sure all of his affairs are in order, so we got them out, and took an inventory last night. All are in good shape, and require just a good cleaning, and maintenance, which we are going to spend some good "together" time doing. But, he has a Ruger mini 14 with a folding stock that is going to need a little more attention. On the rear, where the folding stock attaches to the wood, the is a large amount of rust. Removing the rust isn't an issue, as I polish molds for a living, and have all the tools available to take care of that. BUT, is there a way to re-blue that piece for the DIY guys, or would this be better left to a gunsmith? I stripped the rifle, cleaned it, and re oiled it, paying special attention to this spot, to prevent any more little surprises, and the bore was clean, and unpitted so we're good there.
