I am not the guy to ask about something like this, but I can tell you that all of my 870s are the same way. I have thought about it. Tried to decide if this is an issue. Tried to figure out why it is happening.

I kinda think that one side or the other is worn based on whether you are right handed or left handed, putting more pressure on one side when you work the action ???

In the end, I decided that this is an obvious wear point, so I lubricate it.

I don't THINK it is a problem. You and I have both shot our guns extensively and nothing happened, so I assume it isn't a serious issue.

I am sure someone will come along shortly and give some kind of real answer.

Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
