Knuckle Wear

[Rowdog]

Hey y’all, I FINALLY got around to ripping into my knuckle, and noticed what I’m worried is significant wear. I will attach a picture, let me know how concerned you all think I should be.
Thanks

Well, I feel dumb lol. Shoulda just looked it up, sorry guys. It just was surprising that it was uneven on that bottom part there.

There's variations in the forged knuckles. The machining has been done for clearance to the birf.
Either for operational clearance, or for installation

Here's mine from 2017. No reason to think it's not part of manufacturing:
