I had a canted barrel on a 6" 686-3 that I bought new in the mid 80's. Not knowing any better, I put the lugged barrel in a padded bench vise, slipped a piece of hardwood scrap through the frame, and fixed it myself. The gun has shot fine for the past 30+ years. I'd do it again if I had to, only today I'd fabricate a better fitting set of hardwood frame blocks before turning.

My point is that canned barrels aren't anything new. The internet is, relatively speaking!
