My advice on thos gun:
Install period correct recoil pad to get stock out to desired LOP.
Replace forend with good used original.
Recut wrist checkering and maybe forend as well if replacement needs it.
Strip and Clean action if needed.
These alone will greatly improve the overall presentation of the gun and will not cost you a terrible amount of money. Not more than you paid for the gun to start with.
I cannot really advise on barrel bluing based on the photo. It looks like it might be good enough to kind of go with the rest of the gun and leave alone.
