You can touch up bare or thin areas with French Polish and they will blend into the rest of the finish without hurting it. French polish has been discussed on this site many times, and many guys have done what you are asking about. Search on the archived threads and you will find it.

I took my go to 16 VH rabbit hunting in the rain; same thing happened as the wood turned almost white. The wood was completely dry with no finish to repel the water. Did not show until it got wet. I worked Tru-oil every night in light coats on a small cotton patch into the wood, for about a week. Never took it apart but worked it carefully around all metal. The wood still looks original but now has some protection.
