My vote would be for Breck Gorman to refinish the barrels he does beautiful work that equals original Parker colors and craftsmanship expect to pay $400. plus for a barrel refinish but you will not be disappointed, laminate barrels refinished will knock you over. Removing the blue is pretty simple, I would highly recommend Brian Dudley but I'm not sure if he would take on this type of work.
I have a 36" 7 frame top lever D that weights 15 pounds and I have shot many ducks with the beast so I would encourage you to shoot and hunt with your baby 5 frame. Craig Larter
