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!

It’s a 80 year old gun made on a 100 year old machine in a 150 year old Factory in a 3rd world Country made from
200 year old Railroad spikes. So what’s the problem?
