green mountain barrel?

[chuck-ia]

I just finished inletting a 7/8" barrel in a blank, actually not finished, I haven't used inletting black on the bottom 3 flats yet to seat the barrel. The barrel fits really nice, no gap on the side flats. When I rotate the barrel 2 flats I have to force in in the stock, it appears the barrel has a very slight bow to it. Is this normal? Are barrels supposed to be perfectly straight? thanks, flinch

Is it really bowed or just a bit thicker across those two flats? You can check the former on a sheet of thick plate glass and the latter using calipers/micrometers.

Hope this helps.
