A couple weeks ago, I bought an E grade Parker 10 guage Damascus that the seller described as having pitted bores. Upon receipt, they did look fairly ugly, but the guy had not even taken the time to clean them at all. After a few minutes of scrubbing with a bronze brush and swabs, there was consideral improvement. The worst area of pitting is several inches ahead of the forearm, and I'd guess they are no more than .001-.002" deep at the very worst part. The rest is mostly shiny with a bit of frosting ahead of the chambers. It's hard to find perfection after 122 years. To me, this was far preferable to recieving a gun with obviously polished bores that had who knows how much honed out. At a svelte 9 lbs. 13 oz., there is very sufficient wall thickness. It'll be a shooter.
Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

Dr Drew, when giving briley the instructions did they use their judgement and stop at 0.727 instead of 0.729?
Will they do only the first 6-8 inches of the barrel if requested?
I have a 16 with some pitting forward of the forcing cone, but the barrels near the muzzle are not thick and I don't want to risk polishing them down as they do not need it.

"did they use their judgement and stop at 0.727 instead of 0.729?" Yes, and I'm glad they did  Mike Guigliano is Manager of the Gunsmith Division.
