I couldnt care less about a pitted barrel unless theyre extreme. Small ones have virtually no weakening effect on strength or performance. With proper cleaning, modern powders, primers, and plastic shot cups pits are not going to grow. When buying a real vintage gun I tend to run backward (long experience) when a seller says the bores are perfect without a single blemish. Bells ring all over and I hear honed! Now I have to worry about wall thickness, quality of honing, and all sorts of stuff. Give me a frosted barrel anytime over a perfect bore.
