Problem extracting live round, Ring cut around bullet
It is a brand new upper with an 18" FN barrel, rifle length gas. Barrel is marked "HF MP wylde 1:8". It was purchased as a complete upper.
Zeroing the rifle, it functions fine. Now time to inspect the group so proceed to drop the mag and eject the live round...but can't eject the round, it is stuck. Sometimes muscling the charging handle will get it out, other times need to mortar it.
Examining the round, there is a ring cut around the bullet. Here are a few pics. This is wolf gold. Federal 5.56 and IMI 5.56 were also stuck.

Before the trip, it was cleaned with a chamber brush.
Is this normal for wylde chambers? Should this upper be returned or is there an easy fix?
