You only have to create one topic.

That's interesting, can't say I've seen that before. You said this gun was brand-new?

I've never seen such mark before, too.

It might grow larger and deeper by time until it cracks off, but if it would interfere with function afterwards is still a question. I guess a prepper would immediately call Remingtons to ship a new one on warranty.

It's not a crack, it's a dent, probably a manufacturing defect. That's a stamped part, maybe a metal chip got into the machine. In any case, it's not going to get bigger or make anything break off. If I'm seeing it right, it shouldn't even interfere with the gun's function. Maybe that's what the "A" indicates, that it's just a cosmetic blemish and the part can still be used.
