Here's another example of fine workmanship...
Revolver Barrel Porting Fail
... I'm pretty sure I could do at least that good, and I make no claim to being a smith or armorer of any kind!
Man! Looks like a hacksaw and file job.

Can't tell you - didn't see it in the link. Hopefully no one local at least!
I'm thinking angle grinder, looking at the heat marks.
Lmao. I don't see rifling. I wonder if that is a joke.
I'm guessing it was backbored, probably with a hand drill given the precise porting. Probably even works, but ... dang!
(edit) nope, guessed wrong - can see a bit of rifling in the top view (/edit)
That looks like the result of using a die grinder with an abrasive wheel. There are several places where you can see skip marks where this "pro" let his "tool" slip out of the "port" and ride down the outside of the barrel.
Sheesh... lots of quote-unquoting there. . . Probably would have looked better if he's used a hack saw.

Yes he definitely should polish it up to remove some of the tooling marks.
Exactly. Where's the professionalism? I mean geez!
I'm still curious if the OP's friend let the "smith" have another crack at his replaced parts or if he took it elsewhere......
OP - if this hasnt been taken care of, send me a message and I'll see to it that it does for you.
I'm still pissed that someone did this crap to you.
