Barrel blank in the headstock with Deltronic pins in either end. Indicate both ends. Drill and then reach in and indicate the throat. I use a solid carbide boring bar to taper bore to the shoulder. If you indicate the throat and taper bore it, it will be concentric to the bore. Your reamer will now follow the taper bored hole. I use no bushing as I do not want it to influence the direction of the reamer.
