Send your gun to gunsmith Buck Hamlin in Pevely MO and allow him to evaluate your barrels. Buck is an expert on Smith gun and Damascus barrels. I suspect, even though these barrels may be pitted, they remain shootable with proper ammunition. Pitted bores certainly aren't pretty; but I've never had an issue shooting pitted barrels, Damascus or steel. I think Buck's telephone number is 636/479-4304; and like me, many members here have used Buck for barrel work, and you can use my name as Buck knows me well.
