Default fix the pitting or not

my season ends jan 5, I am already thinking about the major cleaning on my usak. I have a small pitting problem but it is not massing with my groups. should I fix the pitting or just clean it really well, and run a good oil down the barrel?

ok since we are in agreement. what steps should I take from making it worst?

I aready take longer then I should cleaning then it should. it is going to get a good bath when the season is over. hot water, little to no soup, and a lot of tlc.

Just do what you're doing now. Take your time cleaning it and its going to last a life time.
