Is it worth bothering to have my barrel blued?

I'd either leave as is or get it reblued. I think you'd be disappointed with a paint finish and it would scratch very easy.
Nice looking rifle.

Yes I think you are right

I was also thinking that it might be a idea to perhaps try a bit of customising like this 52 it also has a polished barrel, I like the gold bits both ends of the barrel, not sure how I could do something like that on my 34.
