Cinders, you have better eyes than me I did not even see that. There are marks like that all over the action and the various parts, reminds me of my old SMLE's as compared to my Long Branch, and on the other side of the action are plenty that look to be post and pre-refinishing.

Mr Laidlericon, do you mean the inletting for the main screw block? It is pretty bad honestly, but if need be I could cut it out and replace it with some Iron bark wood and hand fit it.
