You won't know if you don't go.

I just didn't want to sink hours and hours into something only to find out that it is an exercise in futility. Or the bore is so pitted it will foul in 3 shots. I can deal with it if it's relatively minor.
You are not going to know until you start digging into it. I would suspect some minor pitting that may or may not give you some problems, like cutting patches. ….

When you get this item in hand. Take a look at the crown area after some minor localized cleaning. Just enough to see the condition of the rifling. If it's bad there, then it may not be worth your time, unless you shorten the barrel which I doubt you would be interested in doing. …..

Also. measure your barrel and it should be 1.00" and not 15/16". Using Chore-boy, is very conservative and I feel you are going to have to be, more aggressive, to clean and see what you need to see. …..

It's worth your time and;
Be Safe !!!!
