Only two ways to do it. It disappears when the surrounding metal is worked down to the same level. or the pits are filled with weld and worked back down to the original, surrounding surfaces. Depends on the depth, number, and location of the pits...

I have removed broad but shallow pitting on my DWM mixmaster shooter by hand-stoning the affected parts using water stones, one stroke at a time. I worked on my shooter's frame, receiver and barrel very carefully over a period of weeks.

Deeper pits are welded, typically via TIG process, using electrode/rod specifically formulated for this work. Available through Brownell's in Iowa.
