Lgs has a norinco but the crowning looks off and I was afraid to buy without asking. going to post a  couple pics, tell me if I should be concerned. Crowning just looks off. Is this from excessive wear? Shot out?

I don't see anything serious but can't really tell from the pics. Remember it's an SKS and not some sub MOA bolt gun. I've seen some Mausers and Garands that were "shot out", shoot great groups. If the price is right go for it.

While it is not as distinct as normal I'm sure it fires fine...my norinco has a lot cleaner clearer crown. If the price is not outrageous I'd go for it

Bought it, shot it, loved it! Haven't had a chance to shoot it much on paper but it's hitting pretty well so far!

That crown is dicked!   Looks like an ape had fun with a cleaning rod!  If you get it I'd definately have it re crowned.  Any compotent GS should be able to fix it!

Hard to tell from the pictures. Rifling looks sharp, but I can't see all angles. If you're talking about the dinging up on the barrel, at 6, 7 and 5ish oclock, it's from the bayonet being snapped up and on hard, that's normal and won't affect accuracy. It's the radius adjacent to the bore you have to worry about not the outside diameter
