What is that thing? Can't be a gun barrel - the bore is tiny compared with the overall diameter and the rifling is not only highly unusual, but not even symmetrical.

Might we be looking at the face that locks the barrel to the breech?

Yes it looks like it could have the breech locking details in it.

The main thing is that Fanny is wearing her safety dust cap so she's fine.  *eek*
