My 686SSR made a trip back due to the canted barrel. When I called to check the status, they said spec is +- 1 degree. My revolver was 5 degrees to the left. They did fix it, for free of course, but it was still frustrating. Has anyone watched the video from Shooting USA on youtube? It was a tour of how the Pro Series guns were assembled. Their "precise" barrel to frame fit is a worker with what looks like a pipe wrench who torques the barrel. There are no stops to prevent over torquing. It seems like there could be a better system to align the barrel correct the first time. I'm just thinking postage and wages to workers fixing canted barrels would be expensive, even if affected guns are 1%
