I'm confused. Extra confused, even. The knurled nut comes off by hand and looks brand new. I couldn't get a very good photo, but I don't understand how a DW barrel wrench would work here even if I had one and it doesn't look like any other DW barrel I've seen, though I don't claim to have seen many. It truly looks like a fixed barrel and the nut is there to allow the porting to be cleaned. There is nowhere for the wrench to lock into and it looks solid rather than a barrel in a shroud.

Thank you all for your history and experiences. I have never seen or held any of these examples before so it is exciting to learn. If any of yall know someone who has this type of experience with revolver development, can we somehow nominate them for some type of revolver history thread? Knowledge lost is knowledge re-earned. I particularly enjoyed this and the "Bradshaw - Lee 357 Max" thread. If yall were on the front lines of development, please speak up. Me.. Im too inept to even post pictures as of now, so no, I don't have any experience past production revolvers.

The "Fixed Barrel Discussion" from the DW forum on page two of your link shows models almost exactly like mine! It looks like I have a fixed barrel Palmer gun and it looks as though the barrel is indeed factory. What a weird adventure. All these years and I never knew it was a fixed barrel until today. That doesn't appear to add anything even if they are more scarce, but at least I wasn't foolish enough to buy another barrel and find out that way.
