I found this after years of storage on mine. Never noticed it post shooting but was concerned none the less until a gunsmith tore it apart. It's on the above listing ..

Thats from set back usually, from the tang.
 
@Woodcarver & another source have the same idea, if the aesthetics bothered me or worsens. Foremost, there was no damage to compromise integrity ..
 
It appears to be about to flake out a minor chip. Not a deal breaker. If it did chip out AND you found it, would be an easy acraglass fix IMO. I might be tempted to tape off area, and apply acraglass liquid thinned 40% with acetone which will soak in like water, but leave behind acraglass. Then do a careful spot refinish? But, it's not my gun. Might consider relieving the area behind the tang a TINY bit.

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to introduce myself personally & chat with you about hunting Nilgai. Give me a call sometime…

+1 Great to deal with. I purchased custom rifle. No issues.

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary

Booked with Harold Grinde - Gana River - they sure kill some good ones - who'd you get set up with?
