It sounds good, Tazman.
Bore wear, is bore wear - no matter what type of powder is shot. As long as the lands aren't rounded or wore down, then it's good to go (though typically Knight rifling lands are a little lower than you might see in a cartridge gun, it makes bullet loading easier). Rust & corrosion (the main concern in black powder shooting) should be evident with the use of a bore light. You might ask if they would remove the breech from the barrel for your inspection. The primer end of any BP weapon takes the most abuse, and if the breech is clean, not rusted, and its threads clear of gunk (other than the necessary thread grease) - I'd say you got a good shooter!
