I was just wondering whey carbine muzzles were crowned while rifle muzzles were left flat?

More accurately, it was Carbines and Muskets with crowned barrels, while most (but not all) pre-WW II rifle barrels were made with a flat uncrowned muzzle face.  As to why… I do not know what the reason for the difference was.
