Gil,
Rusted and pitted arms are accepted by my local shop for very good reason. While the bores may be rusted, the arm is still a useful "parts gun" and is priced accordingly for both black powder and smokeless arms.
If you look at the prices for gun parts and stocks, it makes good sense to recycle the useful components others want at good prices. This is a good policy for us handy folks in the hinterlands.
Adam
