Firing pins are relatively easy to replace.
Sewer pipe bores on the other hand are not..... .

i'd be concerned if the one barrel is that pitted and the "(left barrel is perfect)" that doesn't make sense - unless the left barrel firing pin has been missing since the gun was made i expect the one was cleaned up you would have to know the wall thickness to decide if it is safe to shoot-

There are lots of guns out there that you wouldn't be asking these questions of.......
Heavy pitting like that, when you measure wall thickness try to measure from the bottom of the deepest pit to get the minimum value; that's where the concern will be. |

Thanks all...I’m sending it back. They definitely misrepresented the gun on the GI ad. I appreciate everyone’s advice!

By misrepresenting the gun the seller is trying to get away with something. By sending it back he might learn a lesson..

Hey Shawn, Bindlestaff is right there are too many guns to settle for a misrepresented gun to have to go spend money on to correct some major faults.You have some nice guns send that one back and keep combing the net and friends. I still have a nice Lewis era 16 ga 4 Ithaca I would consider selling, Latham engraved , 28" Damascus, good dimensions.
