Looking down the barrel it looks shiny and I don't see any obvious pits. However, if you shine a flash light right in it you can see it looks like a little rust around the rifling. I've always used Remington oil on it. On the crown where it's a little rust it almost looks like pits but I can't feel them. On the top of the barrel just looks like a rust spot but it wont wipe off. I can't tell if it's pitted or not.
