Help please! I am getting ready to install Oatey quick set toilet flange, and the trouble is that the flange won’t dry fit. After I deburred and sanded inside of the 4 inch drain pipe, I am only able to push in 1/2 Now.

I have done quite bit plumbing work in my basement, never seen something like this. It appears the 4 inch drain pipe doesn’t have a smooth inner surface. I am not sure if apply PVC glue will let me to push the flange all the way in. Please advise. Thank you.
 
It should push on all the way once you clean and glue it.
thanks. As plan B, just in case it won’t go all the way in, should I immediately pull the flange out and wipe the PVC glue clean?
