I just finished up a Trojan with the same problem but much larger. If the checkering is redone right, that blemish will dissappear. The checkering has to be taken down so all is level and then re-cut. I would challenge anyone to find where the blemish is on my gun. It all but dissappeared. I fitted the blemished wood in with glass bedding compound colored with the same stain as the rest of the stock which I refinished. You can checker over glass bedding compound and the line will virtually dissappear when restained and brushed with oil. It is not a hard fix.
