Exactly. Some of us have bullets with 4 inch diameter mirrors and so far
nobody has volunteered a source for a 4 inch convex mirror and the
conversation has moved to how to create one from a larger convex mirror.
One thought, how well would a suitably equipped dremel do against an off the
shelf convex mirror ?. The dremel takes some very thin cutting disks and
rotates at very high speed so I wonder even if you couldn't cut out a circle
you could cut several straight lines to reduce the amount of material and then
use a grinder to generate the finished diameter.

All I've seen out there that's ready-to-go is 3-3/4" diameter....
