One of the nicest looking "Lees" I've seen. I do like the lines - but agree - their price is rather high - perhaps $1,000 would be closer to what it's worth.

Sometimes, poor barrels can be salvaged for jacketed bullets only, using firelapping loads. That is how I salvaged my M71/76 Mauser barrel. If mostly the lands are bad, a bore riding bullet of fairly hard cast lead, rolled in fine compound,t hen fired, cleaned, fired, cleaned - etc, for maybe 20 or 30 shots might help immensely.
