Dropped barreled action.... need a warm and fuzzy

[hunting_fishing_addict]

Never dropped a barreled action before. Dropped mine yesterday off the bench and hit barrel first onto the cement, while I was adjusting a 520-CE. It then came back onto the back end of the action where it dovetails and scuffed the blueing off with a miner graze imperfection. Can anyone give me a warm and fuzzy? What could happen from this?

as long as the crown wasn't touched you're prob ok. just double check that safety, trigger etc all work as they should.

How can I touch up the portion of the action that was scratched? It is a stock Remington barrel. What kind of coating does it have duracoat or what? It is not shiny like blueing

The flat black touch up pen that birchwood casey makes is a pretty dam close match I have used it on my 700sps varmint before.

LOL, you dropped a hammer. It's a tool. They get banged on stuff. It happens, Don't worry about it.

I dropped my .223 Bolt gun after grabbing it by the suppressor cover, cover slipped off in my hands, landed on a scope turret on asphalt (SWFA 10x) and edge of my brand new can..... in front of my wife.... left a couple marks.... didn’t loose zero though!!!

Butterfingers here pitched an old Leupold VXIII out of his hands at shoulder height in the kitchen, and watched in horror as the eyepiece bounced perpendicularly off the tile floor and the scope bounced off the objective before landing.

The scope has a little rough patch on the eyepiece, and still tracks and holds zero, and I no longer butter my hands before playing with guns and optics.
