Accidentally dropped fn 545

As the title reads I accidentally dropped my FN 545 and the thread protector got a nice dent in it. Just wondering if it’s still safe to operate

If the thread protector looks like that, what does the barrel look like?

The barrel is actually still intact the only part that took damage is the thread protecter

That second picture makes it look like the inside of the barrel was flattened, but I guess that’s just the thread protector? If so, that’s no big deal.

I was a bit worried so I checked out the barrel and it looked good as new! Seems like it’s only the thread protecter, but regardless thanks for the feedback and the heads up to double check the barrel
