years ago. The barrel being inside the shroud allows you to keep a tighter barrel/cylinder gap, and supposedly with it being tightened up front and rear it keeps the barrel expansion to a minimum. We used to do a lot of custom Dan Wessons by building our own barrel and putting it inside the factory shroud.

I also used that design for that special S&W M-629 of mine in 410 GNR. new 5 shot cylinder and a new inner barrel with the factory shroud. The muzzle brake is the nut to hold the shroud on.
