Hi all!

Anyone got any ideas on how to repair this? Or how to clean it up a bit, I did think bronze paint but thought I would ask

It’s a rail.

 

Accept it has happened.

The rail will still function as a rail, there are still threads in there.

 

Mount something on it, touch up with some paint or if you don’t like it then replace the rail.

 

Back in the day I filed back one of the rails on a gun body to precisely align a feed.  The item manufacturer saw my mod and asked for more pictures and dimensions which they put into the redesign of their next iteration. 
I no longer use the item, so if I bring out that gun there’s a shiney gap on a black body.  It has no effect on function

You're right of course but some of us are bothered by aesthetics...

I got it like this, the person before had done it for his use so I wasn't bothered by it
