I am fairly new to AK’s I have had my SGL20 for a few months and have put over 500  flawless rounds through the gun. I was cleaning it up this afternoon and noticed some markings on the face on the chamber. Since I have nothing to compare it to I was wondering if this is normal?

Looks normal, you'll find the more you shoot an AK the smoother it gets. It'll "Wear In".

Looks normal to me...the bolt face contacts the shoulder where you see the finish wearing away then rotates CW to lock/CCW to unlock & extract.

It looks like the finish on the metal is just wearing off. as long as it shoots you will be good to go. It's still a new born start puttin a couple thousand thru her then she'll be even better

Is that a "feedramp" Dremeled into the chamber?

Hmmm... My brother's 5.45 Saiga, in front of me, does not have any feed ramp in the chamber.

Arsenal puts those in there; many AK's do not have them.

Is it a factory saiga? If so, then it won't have a feed ramp, and can't take normal non saiga high cap mags.

The bullet guide is a key part in saiga conversions.

I think he is referring to the machined angle on the chamber and not the bullet guide. Arsenal started doing this to their rifles probably to aid in the feeding of commercial ammo like HP's.

Don't hold me to this though. I know they def. did it to the 106's.
