Bill: if you download the pic that shows the pits one of them looks pretty deep. I'd guess it goes 1/3 of the way through the bbl, and there's a group of about 6 smaller pits nearby. He said you could see them from inside the bbl also. Must have fallen on a rock or something. Realistically, even the deepest one would likely never be an issue as is and I'd guess that it could be micro welded up if desired and would barely show. Sure is a nice gun and that seems a reasonable price. Puglisi had a very similar gun at the RGS hunt two yrs ago that had been totally restored and had a nasty and very poorly repaired bulge in one barrel and they wanted $7400 for it.
