Wendell: Quality control after Marlin acquired Hunter Arms slipped a bit, and this is likely a barrel finishing issue. I would however suggest your barrels be examined by a doublegun specialist smith, checking wall thickness and for evidence of a previous dent or bulge repair at that spot. It's also likely the gun is well past a good check and clean. If you are in Canada you might discuss things with one of these gentlemen:
