20 gauge slug gun help with purchase

Hard to envision what you're describing. I looked at mine. I see 1 or 2 threads showing on the barrel but the barrel is seated tight and it's pretty accurate. Was the barrel "loose" on the gun at the store?

I wish I had taken a photo.

I think you nailed it. If you can see threads on the barrel in between the barrel and barrel nut.

Is the head spacing just sloppy in a shotgun? Is it not seated properly? Or is the machining just that poor and the headspace is accurate but every barrel is different?

It looks pretty tight on yours.

The ones I looked at had close to 1/16 inch or bigger of threads showing at the location below.

Just seems like they have a little more threads than needed on most barrels? If the barrel bit is tight I wouldn’t worry.
