Hi Brien,
The 1st. photo you posted appears to show a deep dent/pinch/crimp along the left side of the barrel as well...near the barrel shoulder (i.e. about 1 inch away...) where it screws into the receiver.
The "roundness" of your barrel and its ability to SAFELY allow a bullet to travel its length would be a big doubt and concern if this one were mine.
If you have a chance to return and get a refund, you would probably be better off...
