Yep. The very slight clearance between male and female threads allows for a tiny perpendicularity error. But the flatter the face, the less chance of vibration.
Something else that I need to mention. On my very first build about eight years ago, the ground recoil lug had a screw for a location pin. The head of that screw was about .005 taller than the receiver slot depth. So the pin bottomed out before the receiver face mated with the recoil lug. Had to grind on the screw head and file on the slot to get decent groups.
