Fragment of broken clay? There's some ace woodworkers out there. Now that Malcolm Jenkins doesn't seem to be working these days I use Justin Risley who's based in Nuthampstead, the village not shooting ground although he can be met there. If you want his number PM me, rather than put it on an open forum.
You have a couple of options I say. First is to strip, sand and refinish but suspect too much wood would need to come off to lose it totally. Other option which is easier and might do the trick is to fill the mark with finishing oil and build it back up. Not too sure what the finish is that you have, but by dripping something like Tru Oil in the scratch and letting it go off you will get to the point when the mark is at least level with the current finish. I'm not a great fan of Tru Oil for a complete finish but for filling dings it is good as it will harden better than just an oil based finish.
Once you have the mark slightly proud of the surrounding wood very gently flatten off with 1500 wet and dry but just enough to get a flat surface and then maybe a thin coat of whatever your wood is finished in all over the forend.
Not a quick fix but but might do the trick, only takes a few mins each day to put some more oil in the ding and then a few hours for it to go off.

is it a dent or was the wood removed?
if its a dent check this out,
You might be able to improve the look dramatically if it steams out around 50%

Dig any remaining clay out.
Remove forend.
Using 320 grit paper, sand away some wood from inside the forend (won't be much), to collect some of the wood dust.
Get some thin CA Super Glue, mix in the dust and fill the dents.
Rub it back,

I have similar damage to my Perazzi. I put the gun down quickly to instruct a novice and one of his chippy kills sailed into my stock. Dug a huge lump out. I dripped in some grain filler to fill it up but it isn't pretty.

Ouch to both of you! But as has already been said there are some good woodworkers out there. Hope you get it sorted.

The best way is sand some from inside as said, mix with PVA glue, keep adding till you get a colour match with the piece you have sanded, then fill the hole, leave to dry 24hrs, then sand to match and refinish, done this plenty for customers and always works.

Please don't think i'm being negative or taking the piss, but
its a couple of dings, on a bit of wood, that's all,
Yes i agree it may look unsightly, but if the gun still works, surely that's all that matters
i would have thought it adds character & becomes parts of the history of the gun. (How and where it happened)
To me its a working tool, damage to the cosmetics is fair wear and tear.
If i had a super car, it would be a daily driver, not a glass box showpiece
Could you get some wood filler colour matched to the stock and fill it?

I may be selling my Perazzi. I can just hear the gun dealer now: "Ah.. Some lovely character in that stock. Let me offer you top dollar"

Dents show character...I have them on guns, cars and horse waggon....known as battle scars.
Don't worry....unless you are one of those into polishing your balls.

Ouch DT. I bet that hurt.
I managed to slip on some ice today whilst out for my annual sporting shoot. Fortunately my mate was standing next to me and grabbed my Perazzi before I hit the deck. For those that know me, you will be surprised to know that I don't bounce as well as you might think.
