Mini 30 barrel question.

[870supermag]

I bought a mini 30 from a in law who had fired corrosive ammo without cleaning. I managed to get the piston freed up from the gas block but the barrel is pitted pretty bad. It shoots about as straight as any mini 30 iv handled. My question is there replacement barrel avaliable and are they smith only installs? Is it worth it to replace or just shot the balls off it as is?

Shoot it and contact ruger dealer/distributor about new barrel etc soak it in carb cleaner to really clean it

It took 2 really through cleanings to get it to stop the rusting process. It was left for years affter shooting corrosive.
