Had a similar situation with a shotgun from my grandfather....it was not valuable by any means but the gunsmith I talked to said he like to see the whole thing done, sometimes it can get botchy by only doing parts of it....I have yet to do it.
I would check with a gun shop and gun smith, if it is truly a valuable gun sometimes re bluing it can reduce the value....but like I said check with a an expert.
