The barrel threads are not the same, DW makes them different for every
caliber. The cylinders and frames are not the same either, the 357
being a small frame and the Max being a large frame and an extended frame.

The barrels for the 360 and the Max are the same but the shrouds are not
as the Max has a longer cutout for the ejector rod which of course is
longer.
