If a nice re-blue makes is more appealing and makes the gun far more useful to you as a shooter, then go ahead.

On another re-blue restoration note. I received two Remington #4's from my Dad before he passed away. They were in 10% condition at best. They did have shiny bores and decent wood to go with the broken springs, missing parts and non-existant finish. My Dad had to have had them for forty or fifty years sitting in the corner of the cabinet.

I had them professionally reblued and repaired, then I refinished the wood on one of them myself and had a small case made to carry it. I gave it to my nephew for a Christmas present and he loves it. My Dad had always said that one day he was going to repair them for my brother and I. He never did anything with them but I bet he would have enjoyed seeing them.
