Thank you for the reply Dean ,The Barrels appear fine with some moderate pitting ,of course I will measure the Barrel Wall Thickness ,the issue for me was with the chambers and type of Primers ,I have never owned a Back Action although I have owned some Hammer Guns and shot them regularly ,I was concerned if the Plastic Hulls from Rst were okay to shoot from a Back Action or if I would have to shoot a certain type of Brass Hull ,I am aware some of the Brass Hull primers were different and wasn't sure if something special would be needed for this particular gun !

Russ, The back action is not a very robust design. Go easy on the old girl. Most brass shells in the day were Berdan or boxer primed.
