Are J frames also plagued with canted barrels

[photoman]

I bought a new M60 last month that had a canted barrel (didn't notice it until I got it home).

I decided after spending $700 for a brand new gun, I wanted it to be right.

Called S&W, they sent me a FEDEX shipping label, and the gun went back yesterday.

S&W needs to get it's QA act together, and one way to encourage that is to send guns with problems back for warranty repairs.

So I respectfully disagree with the "get over it" approach -- at least when we are talking about brand new guns.

So you didn't even shoot it before sending it back? How do you know is wasn't right?

I bought a used mid 2000's vintage mod 37 a few years back that turned out to have a (slightly) canted barrel. ( Slight enough so that I never noticed until my first range visit.) S&W happily made arrangements for return and repaired free of charge. No gripes here.
