Thread: Give it the chop?

Why is factory threaded any different to threaded? I get the barrel chop thing from an anesthetics point but most gunsmith thread and reckons are nicer than factory.

In some cases it looks alright. But most you see either have a front site adapted, or a bare threaded barrel left. In the factory ones i own the thread has a very neat threaded cap. And yes I have seen threaded barrels here with caps done however many are a cheap looking knurled cap which in my opinion detracts from a quality rifle.
And yes I don’t mind a good looking accurate rifle. As I said this is my perspective and I’m simply sharing that. Others have a different view and that’s well respected.
