Thread gap on suppressor?

Do you guys run into this at all? Pretty sure the can is bottomed out or at least hits a hard stop at this point. Kinda hoping I don't need to purchase some accuwashers.. The lock nut makes it a bit shorter but I'm not so sure about doing that

I see threads on my MP5 with the can, if its aligned send it

Usually when I see people using suppressors they use the jam nut. Not sure if that’s correct or not, but most people seem to be doing that.

This is not correct at all. You never use crush washers or jam nuts.
You only use purpose made shims like the Surefire suppressor shims or accuwashers.

If the can has indexed on to the threads on the inside, it does not matter that you can see threats behind the can. A lot of barrel threading is longer than DT can threading. You do not need a washer.
Good to hear. First time I've ran into this and if anything else, exposed threads just kinda irk me
