If you are talking about external it is not an issue and it's actually a design but if your barrel is bellmouthed you have a problem
Can't see on a pick but it's something you can feel while cleaning the barrel. Tried to see images of other barrels and came across one that kinda shoved a machining difference about where I feel mine is different. Assuming that is slightly larger there so that the clearances at the barrel bushing are tighter. In my RIA there is some play between the barrel and the bushing but in my Garrison there is practically none.
What would cause a bellmouth ?
I believe your right just didn't really notice it when I cleaned and lubed after purchased. It seem to run fine at the range yesterday really accurate. Just noticed when cleaned it after shooting because I was extra thorough being that it's stainless and wanted it spotless.
Thanks ,first firearm I owned that had a matched barrel ,makes perfect sense now
In a rifle its generally either a manufacturing fault or somebody has cut a thread for a muzzle device two small on diameter and the pressure actually Bell Mouths the muzzle it has happened on my tikka tact a1 but considering it's a pistol it doesn't operate anywhere near the same pressures I have no idea so it has to be a manufacturing fault .
