Obviously the barrel tube of the fixed barrel guns is threaded into the shroud and the frame. My question is, how do they attach the shroud/tube combo to the frame so everything lines up? There can't be any roll pins on the frame. I think i read that the barrels are torqued to something like 100 ft pounds.
Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

I thought it would be done just like a regular S&W revolver?

I think there are three ways to do it. Smiths used to be pinned. Then the were/are crush fit. I don't understand what that actually entails. Dan Wesson supposedly torqued the barrels on. But I imagine the threads on the barrel only go so far but I have no knowledge of how that works either.
I do know that removing or replacing a crush fit or torqued barrel can possibly destroy the barrel or damage the gun. Certainly rebarreling a gun other than a DW (non fixed barrel) lowers it's value.
