And Joe, I never asked if the gun was a good buy. Perhaps you could get Robert Chamabers to read you the post S L O W LY, so you could understand it..
And I never said it was a bad buy.....perhapes he should read yOu your own post real slow so you could understand what yOu posted.

I think Mr. Joe got you there. I think the first post by Mr. Dollar more than implied a question that he denies asking. "At what point....."

Do the barrels on the inside look like one of your Kansas brick streets ?

EDM, don't know Dan Behr or Doug Scott, either, but am sure they are fine fellows. Lots of double gun guys here and I will try to find these. Hmmmm, the weather today was fine until the snow. Plan to hunt pheasants on Sunday with a "hammerless" 1871 Wm. Moore and Grey 16 bore. It does have external cocking levers, though. Other fellow says he will use an RBL-----poor guy. Call when you get here in the summer. Not too many Parkers, but too many others.

I'm having a hard time following here...........Are you saying a gun in the hand is worth a push in the bush?

Well,regarding pitted barrels, I only know of one way to skin this cat. I am not aware of any way to determine the depth of the pits. The barrel wall thickness is the limiting factor. I know of no one who has determined a way to measure the depth of pitting in the bore. The best method I know of to deal with it is to carefully measure the wall thickness over the entire length of the barrels. If there is sufficient thickness to warrant it, the barrels can be re-bored with a .005"-over reamer and the pits re-examined. If the pits are gone, the deepest one was .0025". If not, and there is still sufficient barrel wall thickness, you can re-ream and take another .005" from the bore (.0025" from the wall thickness) and re-examine. If you get to minimum wall thickness (determined by who?) and still have significant pitting, then you are stuck. It isn't a perfect solution, and involves taking a chance on the gun and your investment to find the answer, but I don't know of any other method to find the answer. If it is a small bore gun of higher grade, the potential rewards are great as Eightbore points out. However, I have a VH 28 ga. in my possession with severely pitted barrels that still has original diameter bores (has never been reamed) yet has minimal wall thickness (from the factory). Therefore, I am stuck...

VH,
There is another choice. You can have them sleeved. If the gun is otherwise in good shape, this may be the only economical solution. It won't be a collectable afterward, but it probably isn't now.
