    No "but". The apparent groove is not damage but a deliberate recessing of the "fat boy" stock so that the volley backsight has a clear view of the volley sight! Get a volley backsight and fit it and all will be clear! With legible stamps preserved (i.e. not sanded), that is the stock to go for. An ex-DP stock would probably be a PITA to clean up!
