Yeah, thats a bit out for sure. Wouldn't worry too much. Lots of these have operational mods to the ends of the barrels.
Especially with thinner walled barrels.
Rattly projectiles and strong loads seem to wear the tops of the end of the barrels more than elsewhere. That foresight could just possibly have been lost during a firing.
