That is a very good point Bill. The seller says Good bores and Larry is saying that the bores are pitted to the point that unsafe thickness is a concern. That is two complete oposite ends of the spectrum. It is not like we are talking about one persons opinion of “frosting” vs anothers. But then again, some “professional” smiths cant tell that a gun is sleeved and then take a customers money for restoration to have the customer find out after the fact that he is upside down in a sleeved gun. But i would not expect that same smith to mistake good bores for pitting. But who knows...

Tom, did you put eyes on the gun yourself? That would have been a good idea.
