Mosin-Nagant for around $60. 7.62*54r caliber. Nice reliable gun, i think 12 million were made.

A HUGE number of those were released from Russian military storage, and placed on the market for sale to civilians. There are several models of Mosin-Nagant rifle, made or modified by several manufacturers. The exact value depends on specifics... manufacturer, model, arsenal it was manufactured at, rare and distinct markings, overall condition, etc. You could be looking at anywhere from $70 to over $1000, depending on those specifics.
It is tapered. Diameter is different at different points. Usually this question arises when someone is shopping for a muzzle brake. Those made for the SKS and Mosin/Nagant have a straight sided barrel, and will not work on Remington.
