That is really an interesting shot of the muzzles, Frank. Of note to me, though, is the difference in wall thickness in the muzzles. Particularly the difference between the area adjacent to the top rib and the area 180 degrees opposite it. Eye opening just how much metal was removed in differing areas due to striking.
