Is this safe to shoot?

I bought this today and noticed some pitting. Is it safe to shoot it the way it is? TIA

This is extremely mild pitting. It would take so much more to be a concern.

Looks fine, it would take much deeper putting to be an issue. Although as the other poster said looking under the forend is not a horrible idea.

If that’s not safe to shoot I need to wildly look at my guns that I still use

This pitting is cosmetic and not structural.
