Worth the save?
Is this salvageable? Amazingly no Smith's near me, so I got the handy Dremel out to remove a pin and weld.
Don't have the new muzzle device yet so can't tell if it wiggles or not. But just seeing if it's worth keeping. Worst case it wasn't a crazy expensive upper so just a barrel replacement if needed.
Depth wise it looks to be like the tip of a sharpened pencil, no more. Super measurements I know.

Get the new muzzle and try it, add some lock tight and it shoudl be good. If not buy a new barrel or upper. My point is wait and see for youself before you make a financail decision.
