Yes - note the threads are very small. That is,
they are not deep and the threads are very close
together. It does not take much to damage them
and, believe me, you do not want to take a chance. In theory it would not happen but in the real world you could even have a grain of sand find its way to the threads. Just don't ruin your barrel threads.
