Yes, it is an opinion/judgement call. One precedent is the M16 barrel, which has no thread relief and 0.100 from the shoulder to the first thread, and a 0.016 radius. The A2 flash suppressor has the relief in it. Green0/Griffen should know that to make an M16 silencer one needs a thread relief in the silencer of more than 0.100 in length. Yes, this is a 308 can, but the same logic applies - you cannot count on a barrel having a thread relief as it is far more common to put them in the female parts.
My point was that this rifle appears to be in spec and as designed and not defective, and that is based on being the person who selected the thread specs.
