We always made a collet.
Then you have a cylinder to hold. Or you can turn a short straight section and then remove it. |

Aluminum shim stock or even heavy cardstock works pretty well. At least in a 4-jaw.
The problem I foresee using a collet is that Remington doesn't put an even smooth taper on their barrels. |

That or I suppose I could whip up a simple spider.

Can you turn it between centers?
I would do this, if it was an option. |

The problem I foresee using a collet is that Remington doesn't put an even smooth taper on their barrels. You make it to measure on a specific length-position on the barrel. Still use on off side spider also. Vibration and precision reaming do not go together well. The size of the commercial equipment (factory) is astounding. had a chance to work on a hammer forge 'barrel maker' years ago. It was destroying the sensors for the readouts. A small thick cylinder of steel became a chamber and barrel over a relatively short cycle. At the time not very many minutes. |

How do you plan on indicating the bore if you are just holding it at one point?
ETA, I would make the spider, or something outboard if the headstock is short enough. |

Face plate, dead center, lathe dog on headstock and live center on tailstock.

Soft jaws on a 4-jaw chuck, turn the taper you need on the soft-jaws...

A heavy piece of copper wire inside the chuck jaws allows the barrel (or the action) to pivot around that end. Put the other end in the steady rest.
A face plate and dog is the other solution. |
