The groove in the forend tip of the Fraser, does, indeed, have a purpose; it is to tie a leather lace into, for tying rifle down securely into a vehicle rifle rack, so rifle won't fall out while vehicle is driving over rough roads and rough ground on safari. Fraser thought of everything.

That can't be it. Unless you consider a wagon pulled by a team of oxen a "safari vehicle"
Fraser borrowed it from Alex Henry. Not sure what the purpose was but I think even some of the Alex Henry muzzle loading match rifles had the groove. I will have to look over some pictures.
