bore corrosion

I don't know if I am wrong in my thinking but isn't there a safety issue if you shoot a gun with a rough barrel? I always thought that safety means more than originality. I would rather have a pistol with a changed barrel than risk having a magazine fed hand granade. To me if you shoot it change the barrel and keep the original, if you are a collector and don't plan to shoot then keep it original. I think if you really needed to you could have the original barrel put back on and still remain 100% original. It works the same with vintage guitar amplifiers. If it potentially unsafe to use then make it safe, why risk a finger or an eye because you think your safe. I have always been taught that if the bore of you gun looks rough don't shoot it. Originality doesn't mean a thing if the pistol Kabooms while you are shooting it. Just think about that! Thanks Arvin
