What a thing to do while sitting in the blind.
A lot of good points that you raise. Anyone would agree that a gun in 50% condition would be considered a shooter. But if the barrel bluing is worn enough to where you fear it getting rusted if you use it, then maybe it is time to re blue it as a means of maintenance and not so much the sake of restoration. Same thing goes with adding oil finish to a worn stock. Such things are done not so much for looks, but as a way to care for the gun.
