I have seen many, and owned several, S&W revolvers not only with canted barrels not screwed in enough or screwed in too far, but also with bent barrels that were pointing too far right or left (mostly left) even though they were indexed correctly in the frame.
The majority of these issues I have seen were in revolvers of 1980's-early 90's production, but I'm sure there are examples from all eras including today.
The cure for a bent barrel is not easy for the owner to watch.
S&W will make it right if you return it to them for repair.
