I have an exploded drawing that suggests this also, but my ability to attach images appears to have been withdrawn.

Just looked at mine last night. It seems that the barrel is one piece, but the rifling stops half an inch or so short of the muzzle end. The rest appears to be (fairly roughly) machined out to a very slightly larger diameter. No idea what purpose this serves.
