Has anyone ever seen an octagon barrel rifle that didn’t have a flat at 12 o’clock?

I suppose you would not have to cut a flat on top of a round barrel when you cut the other 7 flats.

No, it would still be slightly rounded.

Who is to say? Maybe you all have been doing it wrong all this time.

I received a custom rifle back after some work with the octagon not indexed at 12 o’clock. Aside from looking horrible it won’t fit in the stock.
When I asked the Smith about it he told me he didn’t know my inletting was not round. When I said my inletting aside have you ever seen an octagon barrel not indexed at 12 o’clock? He replied, “yes tons of them” boldly and confidently.

Sounds like a real winner of a gunsmith. So is he going to fix it, or what?
