There are alot of commercially available preparations to do this. Some require heating up the barrel and others can be done without heating. These are readily available at a hardware or gun supply store, and all come with complete instructions on the bottle. I've had best results with Hoppe's Cold Blue. The most important thing to remember is that you must have the outside of your barrel absolutely clean and degreased. Acetone or mineral spirits works well for this. The bluing chemical (selenous acid) won't work if there's the slightest bit of oil or grease...(even a fingerprint). Successive applications on the same barrel will make it darker and darker. It's easy with a little practice.

Would have to see how much damage was done with the reblue. If this was a restoration, instead of a reblue, the gun could still bring over $1000. If it is a typically wheel-buffed hot-salt blue - which is totally inappropriate for that gun - value is maybe $400.
