America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

But since he seems kinda finicky, they make a spot blueing you can buy in little bottles and dab on with a little brush. Brownells, Midway, etc. should have it. I've used it other peoples guns and it works good, easy application. It may not match the color of your blueing exactly, but it'll match it a lot better than it does right now, and it will help protect those bare spots.

Get in the habit of wiping guns down with oil to remove fingerprints or anything else that will rust it when you put it up.
