Dlask barrel block notch angle

[Naardvark]

I just bought a dlask custom 1022 build second hand and took it apart for cleaning. I noticed that the V block screws are screwed in at drastically different amoints which led me to inspect the block notch on the barrel.

It appears like the notch is angled quite a bit left to right which is why the V block screws are the way they are. In the end the barrel still appears parallel to the receiver but I'm wondering if this is normal or some design anomaly? I don't know why it would be angled at all.

It's a 16.5" ss carbon Fibre of unknown vintage.im thinking it's not particularly new given that it looks different from the dlask website photos regarding the reduction in size from the breach to the carbon fibre.

Adding some photos to illustrate my concern.

You can see the V block is tightened down with a different gap on each side in order to compensate for the diagonal groove in the barrel mating part. It baffles me why the barrel would be made in such a way, but maybe I'm missing something.

All comments welcome!

Hmmm turn your barrel so its even on both sides then tighten the vblock
You can tell its not the vblock, look at the barrel compared to the receiver. The screws are cockeyed because the barrel is cockeyed.

That's how it looks to me

100% you can.clearly see from the side photos and the top its not lined up with the reciever.

Thanks. I'll have a stab at rotating the barrel if possible. I see what you mean.
