The line is a reference for the adjustment of a barrel counterweight.

That mark is on the older Model 41 barrels, I Believe its a line up mark for the Olympic barrel weights when installed and used on the 7 3/8" barrels such as yours and the earlier 7" barrels that followed the elimination of the muzzle brake feature in 1978. It is a factory made mark, not to worry.

Well IBD, learned something new. I knew those marks are on 7 3/8” barrels and factory. I thought result of machining vise, etc.
