How badly will this effect the weapon?
off to the gunsmith with you.
Pretty bad, enjoy hot gas and shrapnel to your face as your hand is splintered and dangling due to the small explosie that happened in front of your face.
Gunsmith.
so, pretty bad. Fuck.
Put a hot load through it and see. If it survives, then its good. lel go to a gun smith or order some new parts
Car in the pic, but the message is still relevant.

This, the crack is all the way to the chamber wall. It won't necessarily blow right away, but it'll be basically any round at this point will eventually lead to chamber failure and explosion.

I have a related question, so I'll put it here. I was just cleaning my Norinco SKS, and I found a sizable enough chip inside the barrel that I can feel it when shoving the cleaning rod in. I can see it's located just past the handguard, and is about a centimeter wide, and probably half that deep. Can that be fixed, or is my shit also fucked?
>>30967475
if it's just a chip you're cool, just fill that shit with jb weld or aluminum.
>>30967475
a crack has started in your barrel. that is not safe at fucking all.

So you don't agree with this anon >>30967494?
I have an almost identical looking chip on my 30-30, ive shot atleast 100rounds and have never had an issue with it, still accurate and no explosions, but I would still have it checked out by a gunsmith if I were you
>>30967475
Bump for more opinions.
>>30967566
I would get it checked out before doing anything with it. You have no idea what that chip may have done at the microscopic level to the surrounding metal.
>>30967578
May just get a new barrel. Are barrels interchangeable from SKS to SKS. Do I have to find another Chinese barrel?
>>30966784
You now on a grenade. Congratulations!
Seriously take her to a gunsmith. Don't ask us to diagnose this shit.
>>30967475
Are you sure it's not the gas port?
>>30967902
Anon might be right are you sure it aint the gasport?
>>30967144>>30966784
what crack. all im seeing is a peen on the front of the chamber. just file that little peen off OP
>>30967475
you realize theres a hole drilled in the barrel for gas to make it semi automatic, right?
