What is this?

Is the top strap above the forcing cone damaged or line etched.

Unfortunately it looks that way..

That thing was made between 1981-1985. Looks like it’s seen a steady diet of magnum loads in the past 40 years.

I agree with this 100%

I hate to see that. I have a 686-1 from the 80’s and it doesn’t show those cracks. Mine has been shot very little though. Good luck sorting it out.
