This is a "Mongo punch horse in face" kind of barrel inlet.










If the project doesn't work out, I'll just nail the stock above my front door and use it as a gutter.

Dave, look at it this way, if you ever have a water main break, that barrel will save you a trip to the hardware store.

I’m guessing that the one pic is just showing how large the inlet is with an octagon barrel, the one pic with the round smooth bore barrel Looks like what he’s really going with

Hi,
Yeah, my solution to the big inlet was to drop in the water pipe.  It mates nicely with a lock that weighs a pound and a half. No wall gun, just the standard issue British musket.  Dave Price, it helps if you saw the movie Blazing Saddles, the most historically accurate and best western ever made.  ;D

Dave, I saw it and just figured you were leaving room for growth.

Hi Craig,
Yeah, the skinny barrel might swell up when filled with Mountain Dew or "ever clear".

I don't see what the problem is, you could always stuff the gaps with wood dough. ::) :o

Ooh but I better stain the sawdust first? ???  Actually guys, the water pipe fits really well. I think I'll go with that. Now if I could only pick the butt plate up off the bench by myself.  I might have to get a friend to help.

Probably need to install a  chain hoist on an I-beam for that lifting stuff, Dave.  Save yourself a couple of hernia repairs or torn muscles.
