Fix my gun SKS scraping brass off casing during chambering. Need help!

Post image

Just got this SKS. When chambering a brass round, it scrapes a big chunk of brass off the casing.
It happens right at the bottom edge of the chamber (circled in blue).
Is this normal? If not, how do I fix it? Thanks!

Magazine spring might be worn. Try a different magazine before anything else.

I’ve tried tapco and original magazine. They both had this kind of problems. If it doesn’t matter a lot (like breaking function), it’ll be fine to me, I’m not planning to reload ammo

If you are not reloading, then it doesn't matter.
