I'll re-coat it for you, no charge if its a stocked color if you want to ship the barreled action.

Did the seller disclose this to you before you purchased?
Outside of the bolt/receiver raceway there aren't any real "wear" areas on a rifle- usually if the coating looks that way it's due to improper prep, application, curing. The stuff is pretty much bulletproof.

Your one hell of a guy! A big thumbs up to you tobnpr.
