Pitting in the chambers is very bad IMHO -and can cause problems with Extraction of cases, Ruptures etc.

BP Guns with Small pits / alot of wear, especially big bores are generally not a susceptable as small bores.

Pits in BP guns do get filled up with lead and BP residue or can be filled up with lead to make them look smoother. That is why it is best to REALLY clean a BP guns barrels to get all the crap out so you can see it's true state.

I don't worry about "FROSTING" or light pitting as this was often caused by the firing of cartridges.

I am more concerned if the rifling is seriously worn in the last half of the barrel - I have noticed that guns that are worn in the first half but have good 2nd half still shoot.

Also be concerned if the mussle / crown area is pitted.

Just my HO.
