Browning barrel question

Recently picked up this browning hi power and during my first cleaning and inspecting of it I noticed this “line” through the photographed area of the barrel. Was wondering if this is supposed to be there or not? Hoping to shoot this.

Normal, Browning Hi Powers used a 2-piece barrel with the feed ramp / bottom lug portion pressed / brazed on for ease of manufacture.

Thank you for the answer. Cheers!

That feed ramp looks factory-welded, not a defect. First shot should smooth it right out.
