Most likely if material needs to be added-The gouge would have to be welded up and ground/polished flat, the frame annealed, re-engraved (the easy part- Geoffroy Gournet is very good at this) and then rehardened (i.e case colored). In other words a complete restoration of the action. Probably not worth fixing. I've been there. I don't buy guns with nagging warts anymore and spend the money getting them fixed. There are too many nice guns without eyesores...Either you can live with it or you need to do it up correctly.
Some one will chime in now and say the gouge is part of the history of the gun, it gives it character...so it is worn sear for that matter...IMHO it's like driving around a Duesenberg with a dent in the fender.
