Small dent on MPA barrel

[aegik100]

Hello,
I got a used MPA MTU barrel and there is a dent on the surface.
I have never seen this on any other rifle barrel before. Shall I worry about it?
I am convincing myself not to worry about it, cause the heavy contour barrel is pretty thick.
Correct me, if I am wrong.

its fine

MTU barrels are thiccc as hell......the rifling doesnt even know that divot is there

Actually the surface of the dent is very smooth. I don't think it was caused by an impact.
Maybe imperfect surface during manufacturing?

may want to go look at a used 1886 or a flintlock - lots of dents (i.e. used) and still going strong - and made of inferior metal. Scraps, dings = used.

I hope you never look at my barrel.

It’s toast and unsafe.
Send it to me for proper disposal.
