Plain to the eye. But hard to get the iPad to pick it up. Best I can do.
As far as shooting goes, I prefer the cut rifling.

Not meaning to rain on your parade, buy it, but do not be surprised if the barrel has significant
choke, many do. Bill
I too have a lathe find that set up interesting. How much run out with tapping the aluminum into the barrel? I was going to turn a center in my 4 jaw chuck and mount a live center in my tail stock then drive it with some sort of dog? What do you think?Well, I have an older one.....same old.
Here is a pic for the Thunder Ranch Model 21 with 0.004" thread choke.

Aluminum spud turned to groove diam, tapped into the muzzle. The first time you use it, the
threads broach the aluminum, hurts nothing. The threads will drive the barrel. The other end
is on a live center.

IMHO, Sweeney is wrong. That will only work if you chase the threads on the barrel deeper and clean up the ones in the frame. I'm with Bill.Just for info, a 1/8 turn crush fit is the correct torque for a smith and Wesson revolver or about what you call a 45 degree hand tight. Reference Sweeney’s book and kuhnhausen manual for details of needed. You may have it a bit too loose but that locktite will work.
