More Help Please Shotgunners

I have tracked down a Rossi Hammergun (short barrel) - it is a bit neglected but seems pretty sound. One barrel is as clean as a whistle (left) BUT the right barrel is full of crud. I've put the cleaner through it and what comes out is rust - it must be pitted. I thought these (relatively) modern chrome barrels didn't do that. It is soaking in solvent right now so I don't know what is going to come out of it in a few days time. My question is this:- 'If it is pitted, is it ruined?' I only want it for a Snake Gun - won't be using it much. If I clean it up as best I can, and keep it oiled, will there be any reason why it won't do the job for years to come?

And, just by the way, I don't understand how some people can neglect basic maintenance on their equipment. Cars etc. or whatever - there are some very negligent people out there!
