"Gunsmithing" via forum posts is like diagnosing what's wrong with your car over the telephone...

There's a lot of variables at work here...Were the threads cleaned; were they lightly lubed; were there any dings; any caked crap on threads/flange faces; had it been cut down before; is it 'original' or a repro; did the 'smith' torque it down three times to 'set' the threads; is it a really tight (or loose) fit; etc...

Too many variables for any quick & easy solution...
