Feel your pain, OP. Finally got to look at my new 617 4" today at my LGS (ordered from Bud's online), and the barrel was canted as well. Also noted some tool marks, but they were in the ejector shroud. Called Bud's to ask for a replacement, and they were happy to help. Just hope second time's a charm.
Anyone got any idea of how prevalent the canted barrel problem is, specifically with these 617's? Are there any straight barrels being made???
