what you have is a basic model - grade 0 - twist barrelled gun which left the factory with 30" barrels - so, they have been trimmed a bit
my biggest concern with the signs of wear on the outside would be the shiny bores, it was almost impossible to use these that much and not have some corrosion in the barrels from the old mercury based primers of the late 1800's
so- if you plan to shoot it, have the barrels checked by someone who knows what they are doing - the wall thickness needs to be verified
