Wow, what a gun, and I am generally not a big bore guy. If it were mine, I would strip the bluing off the receiver and other parts that are supposed to be case colored. I would redo those laminate barrels, they will look stunning--maybe someone will post a picture of their redone laminate barrels for you to see. Not so sure I would recase color the receiver, I like the nice patina of a well used gun.
How do the bores look? Even if the gun was lightly honed, there is probably plenty of wall thickness there. Dave Fjelline in Lincoln, Ca. could evaluate those barrels for you.
