In my opinion that is not normal. I have seen some that have a slight rise. The question now is it the stock or the receiver? Take it apart and look at the threads in both. You might be able to see where the problem is. Try a different tube if you can't tell.
Also try talking the stock off of the tube and see of the tube is crooked. It might just be an optical illusion with the stock.

install an upper and see if the charging handle rubs on the buffer tube when pulled aft

Good deal glad to hear it. For your sake I was hoping the receiver was not off. That would be bad.
