I agree with Bruce. The gas relief grooves were milled or filed by someone who was trying to solve a problem that did not exist. Gas relief grooves are part of the original equipment of some guns, but not to solve a problem that normally exists in shotguns. Platinum plugged gas relief valves are a standard piece of equipment on high grade muzzle loading fowlers, but I have never seen such a gun with a missing platinum plug.
