This kind of joint could actually be stronger, as there's no torque induced "pre-stress" in the steel. I was thinking that a slip fit and solder would work, and a pin should help as well. The AK-47 barrels are pressed and pinned, and a silver solder joint should be just as strong (probably stronger) than a press fit. It would also make it easy to index the barrel, and if you don't get it right you can just reheat and adjust.
