I was going over my 700 SPSV and I noticed some brown on the receiver and barrel. When I was at the range I noticed the differences in the black. I thought then and I found out now that it was oxidation. So I took some time and cleaned it up with steel wool and a stainless brush. I still think it needs some more elbow grease but the rags came out redish brown. I'm not the first owner of the gun, I don't know the conditions it was taken care of, but this kind of worries me.
I was thinking about getting the barreled action recoated in dura coat or black t, does anyone do that? Preferably close to northern california?
I can just keep cleaning it until it's all gone, but I don't want to constantly have to worry about rubbing down with steel wool.
If anyone knows about anyone, especially if they do amazing work and are accustomed to working on 700's, I would really appreciate some help!
