On my Estes Mammoth, I wanted to be able to bust it in half for easier transport. I used very small screws (around #3 I’d guess) in 3 locations (since it’s a 3-finned rocket, I wanted symmetry.) I toughened the holes in the tube with thin CA. The screws go into the coupler, and I toughened these holes with CA as well.

If you want a quick-to-connect/disconnect solution, Apogee sells nice two-piece removable rivets. A 10-pack is $3.86.
