Hi Lee,
Yes, I spotted that as well. Believe it or not the thread is deliberately distorted at manufacture presumably to prevent the spigot being wound out completely and acting like a bullet. Even the brand new strikers' threads were like that.

I can see your logic Lee but I don't think it would. The considerable force of the spring would prevent involuntary rotation.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can move their nut in situ today.
