Just got my long action AXMC with 1 factory barrel (308) and two custom ones.

Question in the factory 308 barrel; If i mount the barrel and screw it in by hand (hand tight) the timing of the flats (at the front) is not as nice like on the pictures I see where the flats always seem to be at a nice 90degree. If I want that I need to unscrew the barrel for about 1/4 of a turn.

Is this expected behavior?

They are not supposed to line up with anything
and if you don't screw that barrel on all the way and shoot a round off, your face will be in for nice surprise when the case head seperates
