Take a look at the muzzle of your pistol..like spokes of a wheel. There is SOME rifeling in there!
Even if there isn't much... the pistol will likely shoot fine for plinking at tin cans. If you want restore the pistol DO NOT replace the barrel. It is serial numbered to the pistol.
One of my best shooters has no rifeling and it works flawlessly. It keyholes beyont 50 feet but it's great shooter. I can kick a can all over the desert with it!
Whatever you do don't buff off the chrome. Have it electronically stripped instead. That's the way it was put on. Given what the EPA has done to this country it might be difficult to find a stripper.
Once again looking at your photo's and reading the history... I would be inclined to leave it as is. The chrome and plexi look cool.
