I have done that in the past, but then I started marking my chuck center and mating it with a corresponding mark on the 3-jaw chuck. I also tighten the same jaw each time. Seems to work...

tell you what - that barreled extension up in the last post is an original C96 Mauser. Bore is a bit worn, but good rifling. Let me get my last re-barrel out and measure the runout on that...Stay tuned...

Ooowww...I'm not as good as the boyz at Mauserwerke...
