I would suggest that the ribs need to be pulled and the barrels cleaned out under the ribs. I am reluctant to have barrels blued by gunsmiths who do not know how to lay ribs. It is a crapshoot whether there is damage inside and how much it will cost me for the gunsmith to subcontract the rib work if he runs into something he can't handle. You seem to be disappointed that the "water leaked out during shipment". Imagine the disappointment of the owner of the gun that there was water in there to leak.
