One of the experts looked at a set of badly pitted barrels for me and advised they were probably safe, but to not hone them as that would remove metal. Some others say to polish the bores out with a copper brush and drill and that the pitting probably looks worse than it really is. Wall thickness is the key, I am told. I am passing what I have heard along for what it is worth.
