I suspect that they wouldn't do that much "smithing", unless the BC gap was out of their specs. Not ours. That is at least .010 inch with S&W. I just got a new M686, everything is "perfect" except the BC gap is .009 inch. Again, its "in spec"!
Likely they just tweaked the torque a little.
Having everything come together correctly at the same time seems a bit tricky to me. That is why I like the concept of a two piece barrel. Barrel torque does not affect the sight alignment. Nothing has to be "set back" to get the BC gap spot on.

Best,
Rick
