If the grain of wood is not broken in the dent, it can usually be raised up (at least most of the way) by steaming. If is is cut or gouged, then the only way is to sand it out, or leave it be. Depending on the overall finish of the gun, leaving marks like this are nice because it shows the age and use of the gun. Even if refinished.
Using fillers and such usually does not give great results unless the damage is very small.
