Is this repairable w/o affecting bigger area?

The main problem is that any repair that deposits new metal will affect the original blueing. Even if you could press or epoxy a filler piece in place, you would still have to file contour it to blend which would remove blueing from the base part. I thought we collect history here, this is part of this piece's history. As you said, it makes for a nicer sight picture. As far as the white paint comment, why not coat it with some Caseys matte black touch-up. Only you will know, unless you hang out with guys from this forum. Best Regards! Joe
