I like it.
Now you need to polish it !

Is it ok if I try my hand at it ? May try it on a pistol..! I see a trip to the local Pawn Shop to see what instruments can be had cheaply.

Blunderbuss :blunderbuss, short, muzzle-loading shoulder weapon, usually a flintlock, with a wide smooth bore flared at the muzzle to a maximum width of about 4 inches (10 centimetres). The flaring was intended to scatter the shot at very close range, an effect that later scientific experiments showed did not occur.

The flared muzzle had two purposes.
First, it made reloading easier when on a moving platform such as a stagecoach, the cone acted as a funnel.
Secondly, a 2" muzzle looked a lot scarier than one of, say, 0.7"

That is a mod I can get behind. What optic is that?

It’s an EOtech xps2-0

Go for it! Just a matter of finding an old bugle to desecrate, putting something on the lathe to make it sort of fit, and hammering it down the chute. Good ol' plastic deformation will do the rest. Tap it with your favorite thread, drill some screw holes in, tadaaa.
