I just got a second-hand Swiss Arms SHR 970 rifle at an auction. It's basically a Sig/Sauer:

It came with scope bases screwed into the front and rear of the receiver. When I removed them to upgrade, I got a surprise - shiny bare steel underneath! I'm guessing the previous owner scraped off the coating, dunno why. Or maybe the old bases were rubbing?
My new bases won't cover the entire area of bare steel. Apparently the rifle's coating is Ilaflon.
What should I do? How bad would a bluing touch-up look?
