I just finished a 300 blackout build and it is scratching rounds.  I load a dummy round to get ready to load up some ammo to go to the range and I noticed the scratches.
The round has been chambered 4 or 5 times but I've never seem scratches like this.
Is this normal?  Has anybody else seen this?
Any help would be appreciate.

Who manufactured the barrel?  Looks like they need to polish the chamber or replace the barrel in total.  I had a BHW 6.5 PCC barrel leave the following welts on fired brass and they replaced the barrel:

It's an AAC barrel, I haven't contacted them yet.

Someone suggested that I clean the chamber and locking lugs up because there might be some metal shavings in there.
After cleaning it I tried to chamber another round and it was a huge improvement,
you can still see some scratches but they are minor.  I think it will work itself out after shooting a few hundred rds through
it and cleaning it again.
