1950 Russian SKS just bought have a question

(posting for a friend who is not on here yet)

He is a bit concerned as to whether or not the muzzle on his rifle needs to be deburred or remachined. here are two pictures i took so fellow CGNers with more experience can chime in as this is his first rifle. arsenal refurb, bought new recently.

Looks like all other refurbs I have seen. I have never seen one that came from the arsenal with a target crown. I sold one like that not too long ago and the fellow who bought it says the one he got from me is very accurate. Shoot it and see what kind of accuracy it produces and then go from there.

Whats the problem? All I see are lands and grooves, like it should be. Is there something I don't see?

Crown looks uneven...all 3 of mine look similar and they all shoot very well.

Meh.
Remember, these are blasters, not tack drivers.

Completely normal, I have one just like it. In fact worse. Shoots great. SKS's aren't going to give you sub-MOA. Minute of commie-pig.

^^this.

Capitalist pig three feet wide. SKS groups two and a half feet. Is good.

All kidding aside, I'm actually quite happy with the accuracy I get with my SKS.


Edit: the crown on my SKS looks just like the one shown in the photo. Conservatively I have at least 4k rounds through it.

The second pic looks like someone beat it with a hammer! Probably how the drunken Russian armourers seated the barrel in the receiver. I bet it will still shoot minute of Capitalistic Pig .

If the Bayo fits over you're GTG for the Zombie Invasion...problem solved. {now where'd that Wodka go?}
