Mickey,

Thanks.

We don't have much info on the gun
so it is hard to make a judgement but if the rest of the gun
is in good nick and bores good, it may well be worth it.

Add a case and a few accessories and you have a good
outfit you could keep for 10 - 20 years.

If buying it to try and make a profit, then I would say no
and have turned down similar guns in the past.

BANZAIBIRD - Make sure the pitting and therefore
the dampness that occured di NOT extend to the RIBS
or Chopper Lump area of the barrels. IF it got into the
RIBS, you will have problems.

CHECK the soundness of the RIBS to see that they ring true.

I am NOT trying to put you off the gun, just giving you things
to check that I would, especially with what you have told us so far.

I think everyone who has posted a reply knows what it is like to buy
guns like this and you are doing the right thing by asking so keep
going - you are on the right track.

Good luck.
