Remember, it was considered an el-cheapo gun when I bought it. I have since returned it to stock configuration. I haven't been out to shoot for a number of years, but I keep hoping that might change. I was thinking that the challenge of "accurizing an AK variant" might be enough to get me off of my behind and go shooting again. After that, I might convert it, or at least switch to a different stock.
Then again, I have quite a few liberal friends, and I find the thought of having an non-evil-looking variant of the EVIL AK47 to be pretty amusing.
Part of the problem of having a dinged chamber is that I really wouldn't feel good about giving this rifle to someone else. At this point, I don't have much invested in it so it would be no great tragedy to cut up the barrel and treat it as a parts kit, of sorts.
You’re overthinking this. Either leave it as is and shoot it, or do as Bret says and buy a CHF CL Romanian barrel, send to a good smith and have it converted into a proper AK.
