    it means that the gas block was put on the barrel, making the scratch, then rotated a bit to line up the gas ports. no one slides the gas block onto the barrel with the gas ports lined up exactly - it's not needed. you just slide it over the barrel, then rotate it into place.
    don't worry about it any more.

    Rub a lil bit of Froglube on it... it'll make it all better!

    A burr doesn't necessarily have to be at the 12 o'clock position of the gas block gas port hole either. It can be off to one side. Anyhow, looks like the most plausible guess is scratches from installation and removal.

    Now that I know how it got there, no stress. I just wondered if it were a notation or significant of something other than the normal process of building the rifle.

    Yes, I have put Froglube on it. The froglube has stripped 1 micron's thickness of parkerizing from elsewhere on the barrel, evenly, and has began to work it into the scratch. I can see the healing lattice beginning to form now.

    maybe the straight line was from sliding on a jig, then the 2nd one from sliding on a gas block?
