Yes the rounded piece does come out and flip over, but the bottom side is smaller and does not have felt on it. It looks like it had fit something about 4 1/2" to 4 5/8" in diameter. The cover has provision for holding a cleaning rod or tool. An elderly friend dropped by and I showed him the box. He had fired a Piat during training. I like listening to the stories though, he described a fellow he met...Smokey Smith, who got a VC for knocking out 5 tanks on a bridge with a Piat. Phil
