Here’s my .50 caliber Colerain muzzle. I’m not sure how yours got that way. Home grown crowning attempt? Looking close at mine, it could use a little polishing.

Looking at the picture up close it appears to show tool marks up /down on the flat face as though unfinished . In the hole, it is smooth at the break into the bore with an unsightly mark away from the important part. This mark may cause an issue maybe not.
Just shoot it some more and see how it shoots before doing anything drastic.

Your's is round bottom rifling so it might be treated differently in production.

I have a fresh from the factory Coleraine in the "shop". I'll get some pics later.
 
Thanks all, I knew it didn't look right for a factory crown . I can't do any accuracy shooting till I get my new mold, and laser surgery on my eyes. The VA keeps cancelling my appointment. Anyway, I'm gonna work on it this winter and if I don't like the way it comes out I'll cone it.
