We are missing the point here. The seller said the barrels were clean and bright. That is a far cry from "pitted". The whole mess could be solved if the seller took the gun back and issued a refund. On another point, someone entrusted to give you a good appraisal should be willing to give you some measurements at all points of the bores. I could do that in five minutes and charge you a half hour of labor, (seven dollars an hour at my current rate). However, I actually own a bore micrometer and wall thickness gauge. Most gunsmiths don't own such instruments. Make sure your guy owns such tools.
