The pitting, if not overly bad, is probably not worth worrying about. As one member here told me long ago, "I've had pits a gopher could hide in.") As to the cut barrels, you are SOL. With 4 inches gone, there is probably no choke left, and you might get a 45% IC pattern at best. Only the patterning board will tell. So you have a classy 30 yard pheasant gun. If all your hunting is over pointing dogs, you may be OK. If you're kicking them out at 30, not so much. Somebody that wants a 7 1/2 pound quail gun might buy it, but will want it for less than you probably paid for it. Facts of life. Sorry.
