Does my gunsmith suck?

Hello! I recently had a local gunsmith spin me up a barrel for my first full custom build. It appears that the muzzle crown was poorly done with the initial taper not being concentric. Before i spend all the money on components breaking it in and developing a load, i want to know if this will affect to accuracy. I want this to be a half minute or better gun. Hoping to use your guys experience on whether this is a no go and needs redone or if she's good to shoot. Appreciate the help

You posted two of these threads in the same sub-forum. The other one has more replies, so delete this one.

Your crown is one of the biggest factors in accuracy. A small variation will ruin you.
