Yes.
A fluted rifle barrel with grooves along the outside. ************ In the case of a revolver, flutes are areas on the cylinder between charge holes (chambers) that are milled out (fluted) to reduce the weight. An unfluted cylinder will be round. Do a Google IMAGE search for S&W Model 10- you can see the flutes or grooves on the cylinder.

In most chamberings, purely for looks. For instance, the Ruger Super Blackhawk has an unfluted cylinder in keeping with it's "Dragoon" appearance, but the Ruger Blackhawk in .44 Magnum (same chambering) had a fluted cylinder. Revolvers in the truly monster chamberings like .475 Linebaugh typically use a non-fluted cylinder to maximize the strength of the cylinder. sales@countrygunsmith.net
One difference is that the inside of a shotgun barrel is smooth and the inside of a rifle barrel is what they call "fluted" which puts rotation on the bullet as it moves though the barrel.
The barrel has deep grooves milled into the outside of the barrel. Called flutes, the grooves reduce the weight of the barrel, yet leave it a stiff barrel with very good accuracy.
No, the super redhawk series in 44 magnum have fluted cylinders while 454 Casull and 480 Ruger versions have the non-fluted cylinders. There are custom gun shops, such as Bowen Custom Arms and Geeder Custom Gun, that will machine and fit either style cylinder you wish. However, the cost of such work often exceeds the cost of the base gun. Be aware that an unfluted cylinder does not increase the strength factor over a fluted designed cylinder. It does decrease gun weight though.
A few hundred or so, depending on condition.
The receiver is not interchangeable nor are the forearm or the stock. The barrel and magazines are completely interchangeable I use 10/22 mags and a 10/22 fluted bull barrel on mine.
