You can fire lap a barrel and that may make it somewhat shinier.
I would shoot it to test its accuracy. A dark bore can still produce good groups and if it does, don't worry about it. Enjoy it while it lasts. Then re-rifle it (or reline the bore).
If you must reline it, Bobby Hoyt of Der Freischutz Shop in PA is where I'd send it to.
