Actually a valve body for a stealth/talon style inline hammer valve.Miniature mortar or a mountain howitzer.
Here it is hot off the lathe next to the drawing jake provided, clearly he's better with a grinder than with a pencil

Looks good though, nice.
Cheers, it was a pleasure to make these parts and good practice too, and really this is the sort of collaboration I am hoping will grow on spudfiles - it felt much better to do this for a lovely blade than for money, this way both members end up with unique parts in hand.JSR...Nice work man. Its good to see this thread serving a real purpose.
