No. The muzzle is flat.
The crown, which is where the rifling leaves the barrel, is the angled section.
The shape of the muzzle is largely immaterial
The shape and quality of the crown is the important part
So just leave it? CheersQuote:

If it works don't touch it
I'd even argue that if it looked like it was done with a hacksaw, but still shot well leave it. Though I'd struggle to just because it would annoy me.
Akarua explained perfectly. Just let it be mate
There is a slight angle there. You dont need much
