    The shape and quality of the crown is the important part
    So just leave it? Cheers

    Yes leave it

    You are over thinking it.

    Muzzles come in all shapes.
    As long as it's square to the bore it really doesn't mater on a hunting rifle.

    But the crown where the rifling leaves the barrel is of the utmost importance

    If it works don't touch it
