The old saying is you can just about fix anything. Except bad barrels. I'd not step into a gun with bad barrels unless it was worth sleeving. Post some detailed pictures of the gun and we can render a more educated opinion.

Tough to get interior barrel pix. Any suggestions?

Got the impression the engraving and wood might be over the top and thus the gun might be worth sleeving. Regarding the pits themselves, I'd have to know what the minimum barrel wall thickness is. The same smith who said they are fine should imo have the ability to tell you what that minimum barrel wall thickness is. He's the one who is putting his neck out by saying they are "safe" to shoot. You also said the action is a bit loose. Seems like there are concerns on multiple fronts.

Previous owner shot quail with it for 15+ years with it. Gun looks great...on the outside.

Sam, don't fall for a pretty gun. We tend to pay too much for the "pretty" while ignoring everything that will reduce the gun's value. "Pitted" and "loose" will cause me to walk away every time.

So, based on comments PCGA members seem to think $3K is too much for a beautiful Parker 16 VH Grade, O frame with exquisite engraving, case hardening beautiful stock and pitted barrels? Is $2K more like it? Or even less?

Dear PGCA members, wanted to make it clear that the exterior of these barrels are beautiful, but it's the bores that are pitted. Still a problem?
