Question about choke tubes

I bought a New old stock Remington 1100 20 gauge recently and I noticed something when I cleaned the barrel. The choke tubes do not fit flush with the inside of the barrel....there is a little "ridge" of barrel material above the rim of the choke tube. The tube goes in all the way and there is no resistance to screwing it in, but the inside of the barrel is "taller" or thicker" or something. I thought there was something wrong with the barrel, but I checked my 870 and it is the same way. Is this something about remington's tube design? Browning's do not do this, other then the fact you can see the line where they meet, you cannot tell where the choke tube ends nad the barrel begins. I don't know if there is any problem with this fact or if it should just be ignored.

Does anyone out there understand what I am talking about or am I just being anal retentive?

:D
 
It's a safety measure. If something got through QC a little over tolerance and the tube was smaller than the last bit of barrel, it would be part of the ejecta first shot.

Even Briley has the small step down you describe.
