Here's my setup - the first pic is some of my ground drill rod blanks that I use for bore measuring...And by clamping my 7.6mm rod in the chuck and turning the C96 barrel extansion (not the chuck) by hand, I got the indicated runouts...

When I was done with that, I chucked my C96 barrel extension between a center in the chuck and my brass insert and got exactly the same results...Yeah, I was surprised too...
