I have a Rockwell 21-100 mill with a head that rotates side to side.

The head on it's side will run into the table before I get the barrel in
the vise on the table high enough to get the spindle parallel with the
barrel.

I could cut perpendicular to the barrel, and then file out the uncut
corners by hand.

I am looking at a Ruger #1 re barrel right now.

Put the vise on a riser.

Sheesh...

Or mark it out with machinist's blue and file it out by hand.
Sometimes hand work is faster. Could probably have gotten it done by
the time you get a reply.
