Default Not sure what to do here...?

When I got my 243's back from the machine shop, my machinist showed me the little "bugger" at the edge of the CC.
OK, what should be done here? (leave it alone? Have a tiny TIG spot welded in and "dress" it up?, or just leave it alone and don't make it worse...OR...?)

Thanks
