I want to make a muzzle break for my gun. I am just learning to run my
lathe. The question I have is how do I hold on to the tapered barrel so
that I can turn the threads on the end of my gun barrel? Those with
experience pleas help me.

Mount the bbl between centers & turn with a dog?

Chuck the straight part of the bbl near the chamber?
