It looks like the breechface is not perfectly flat, which is pretty normal. Part of the non-flatness is near the firing pin hole, but is there really metal "missing", or is it just a localized low spot? If the gun works, I wouldn't consider it a problem. If rims are catching on it, or primers are extruding into it and tying up the gun, then Colt will want to take a look at it.

Clean,

'Can't really tell from the pic ... is it "pitting?"

Definitely give Colt a call. Their customer service is top-shelf. Carol Plumadore helped me with a problem and Kathy has help Hunter with lots of questions, but I'm sure anyone you reach can help!

You're very welcome Sir. Based on the pic I was sure they would want to have a look see!
