"As long as the barrel thickness is above 20 thousand, and the pitting within the barrels isn't deep it should safe to shoot right?"
No Kevin. If your gunsmith does not have the interest, expertise, and equipment (wall thickness gauge and bore scope) to properly evaluate the barrels, and can provide you with wall thickness measurements at the end of each chamber, the forcing cones, 9" from the breech, 9" from the muzzle and MWT and the location thereof, you need a second opinion. "Should be safe with light loads" is very dangerous advice.
