i was recently trying to unscrew a stubborn screw on my rifle and my screwdriver slipped and made an awefull scratch down the side of my rifle....it has a matte coating and the scratch is bright silver, anyway to cover this up??? It also scratched the plastic cover that closes over where the shells eject out, (its a remington 7600) Is there anyway to replace this as well?
Snipe, get you a bluing pen and you can cold blue the scratch. It won't be the same matte finish but it will darken the scratch and make it much less noticeable.
As far as the dust cover goes, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It will get worn enough by simply using the rifle.

always put a drop of oil on the screw head . it helps from ripping up the slot on the screw head. use something like electrical tape to put around a potential area that a screw driver might slip down. i would tape the fine line of the scratch and fill with what matchs best. blueing or paint. maybe pick up a bottle of perma fin.

Good advice form the others.But just for S&G .Make up a good story about when you were getting ready to drop the hammer on that shot of a lifetime and just so happen to drag the gun on a screw on your tree stand and put the battle scar there.

Good tools are necessary when working on guns. I often wondered what the special attraction was to gun smithing tools and now it makes sense. Every scratch has a story though. Good luck removing it but I can tell you that you will get used to it.
