I plan to try a couple of variations , but I can't start cutting until Tuesday . Armorer77

We'll wait....impatiently.

Perhaps this is a better shot of the profile @ the muzzle- shot at a 90 degree angle rather than oblique.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing wrong, just exploring the different interpretations of Muzzle swells on Dahlgren's.

No expert here, but I think it depends what gun you are scaling. Am I wrong?

OK here we go , 1st & 2nd tries ,

The newer version is in the flat , proportions are better .

I changed the radius from .062" to .187"

Changed the muzzle flare from 45 deg. to 20 deg.
To use your analogy about eye candy Double D , I still think her butt looks big . Armorer77

That second version looks sweet!!! Great Job!

Really nice gun you have there sir. The proportions do look better and trunnion placement too. Congratulations, may you sell many!

Very nice Ed, the second version is a winner!!

It looks to me that the length of the largest diameter is still a little too long compared to this:

I think you need to radius the transition from sharp taper to cylinder more than you did.

Ed, the second one is pretty darn nice! Good Job!
