Any thing that looks bent or crooked is an optical illusion I guess . Actually the Stoner lead looks like most any chamber I have cast that was for cast lead bullets .A nice gradual taper .I have seen some military rifles with very long free bore and Swiss rifles with no free bore or taper at all . If I was designing this chamber, I would make the neck at least .005 smaller in diameter ,the free bore tighter and a little shorter than the lower cast and use the taper of the stoner barrel. Some day I need to cast the chamber in my Model 1 Sales barrel as it is a very good shooter . If weather is good Tuesday I will find out how the Bartlien barrel works
