Scratch in AK chamber

Hello guys,

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum. While cleaning my SAM7 AK the other day I noticed a couple of small scratches in the chamber. The rifle appears to be working fine and accuracy seems to be unaffected but I'm not sure if this is something I need to have checked by a gunsmith.

That looks like something on a cartridge case has lightly scratched it, but as long as it isn't deep, and it doesn't effect the cartridge case being extracted, then I wouldn't worry too much about it.
