I bought a new S&W 1911PD about three or four weeks ago and haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet. I was looking at it this evening and noticed some light rust on the inside of the barrel. When I took it apart to clean it up, I looked down the barrel and noticed a 'ring' about an inch from the muzzle end that almost looks like a tool mark. Having no experience with 1911s, I wasn't sure if this is supposed to be there or not.
Sorry for the crappy pictures, but you can see parts of the ring in both of them.
Any suggestions?
