it looks a bit big, but nonetheless beautiful! I would love to have a lathe, but I cannot justify spending $300+ just to make oring grooves; its barrel sealers for me!

Wow. That is very nicely done. Is that for a barrel sealing piston or chamber sealing? (rmich, it could be for either)

thats a pretty nice looking piston, was any glueing done between the disks? or is it just held together by the bolt?

Very Well Done.
You should make a 4" version

You should use rubber sement to glue them because it would make a kind of like rubber padding and you could still take them apart if you needed to fix something.

It is for a barrel sealing cannon. I'll put it together this weekend.

Holy crap that thing is sexy!

I like how you combined a crapload of components into one smooth and steamlined piston. Great work.
