Hey 33 that's the way I order my new barrels with more threads on they end, so when it gets shot out all you have to do is RE-THROAT it, and you still have enough meat at they end of the barrel, you got a freebie.

i had ordered a barrel from Devin back in April, and i received it this august, let me tell you I'm am really impressed with the difference in accuracy it made. local gunsmith did the work, noticed there's about 2-3 threads exposed after the recoil lug/nut.. should i be concerned? i already put 40 rounds through it without any problems.
heres what it looks like.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
From your photo it looks like your barrel is a Large Shank. I say that because of the length of the barrel nut skirt.
It appears that the barrel itself was machined with the thread length for a Small Shank (longer). As long as your gunsmith head spaced it correctly you should be just fine.

Maybe he thought you were going to use a thicker recoil lug. Can't tell, but it looks like a factory lug to me, not a thicker aftermarket lug. Like scope eye said, gives you extra meat if you ever want to set the barrel back. Wish mine all had that.
