[QUOTE="Fr Mulcahy, post: 4282232, member: 42567"] I would contact Kimber and see what they recommend. You might have to follow up with a phone call or two. I have been told by reliable sources that Kimbers have different metallurgy than most other 1911's. They use metal injection molding (MIM), and I am unsure as to how well it would reblue. If it is currently blued, then you could sand the scratch out as described above, remove the bluing (Tidy Bowl does well), and send it out for nitride coating or vapor deposition. Any competent gunsmith could arrange all of this for you. [/QUOTE]
