Aha, so that's what you were referring to. I'd say you're right, this must have something to do with the machining sequence. I see it now and then when machining grooves, using a plunge cut as a starting point.

I'm not sure if I can buy a suppressor right now (read: My wife probably won't let me), but it might be a candidate for my "SS Panzer" barrel: http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=30581

Then again, if this turns out to be a Krieghoff frame, it might be a better idea to leave it as is and trade for another frame.
