Anyone have any idea what this barrel may go to?  It showed up in some parts a number of years ago and I never knew what it was.  It's marked .357 and the OD is larger than a small frame, and smaller than a large frame.  The forcing cone end is a bit larger than the muzzle end.  As you can see, it's a true "castle nut" on the muzzle.  The nut is shown between a large and small frame nut.  It's possible it's a custom-made barrel.

How long is it? It could be a S&W barrel from a scandium gun like a TRR8 if it is 5" or a 386 XL if it is 6". Just guessing here. Will it screw into a model 40 frame?

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

I would bet DakotaJack knows a 40 barrel. A 360 tube would be the same as a model 40. Maybe a Janz? Or a Manurhin MR 73? Manurhin made some interchangable barrel and caliber guns, as does Janz.
