A Modest Proposal -- BC-1082

That would be up to Carl, should he reconsider releasing more than just *one* nose cone. (That April Fools' joke pretty much rivaled Nick's at EMRR several years back. )

...I have updated it per young Mr. JP's request.
The cone section is 7.2" long, while the transition is 1.0" long. The widest point is 1.43", while I'm suggesting a shoulder of 0.75" long.
I humbly submit that its designation should be BC-1082. [EDIT] Instead of 10820... I got carried away and added that extra zero, which is used in *body tube lengths.*
Please notify Mr. McLawhorn if you feel his most excellent company should make this nose cone available. (Oh, and have him bring the dowels back. Gordon "Sandman" Agnello would probably like that. )
Cheers,
