Probably because some bozo is liable to leave the safety off and wind up with a 7c lodged in his uvula. However my big question is: Can you tune it with the sight adjuster (Hmmm...it's about two clicks sharp...)?

Lacquer vs Silver?
Rotory vs Piston?
3 valves vs 4?
Hollow point vs Full metal jacket?
30/06 vs 7.62mm?
How are the false tones?

Sure! What a savings to the battalion on a real bugle!
OK, what gives? -- The Enfield, as pointed out, is a .303.
The tip of a trumpet mouthpiece shank is .382 or thereabouts.
The tip of a cornet mouthpiece shank is .341 or thereabouts.
The tip of a flugel....
That would have to be one #@!! of a shot-out barrel, or possibly one of the .410 shotgun conversions?!

Maybe a soprano mouthpiece, which would go along with the short length...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
