Looking to score an Estes BNC-60AH Nosecone. I am looking to compare it to the Semroc equivalent.
Thanks!

Is this the one I asked you about?
I have one, but it's sit atop a rocket.
You need to dive deeper...Did Estes even make a BNC-60AH? What kit used the BNC-60AH? All the Estes references I have only show a PNC-60AH.
K'Tesh,
From the 1975 Estes catalog at Ninfinger's, the exposed length is 7.25". (#45)

From the erockets web page, the Semroc cone with the same designation is 6.6" long.

Who knew?
You need to dive deeper...
Oh, and FYI, the two piece, injection molded PNC-60AH is not the same length as the single piece, blow molded PNC-60AH. It's ever so slightly shorter (and much heavier).
Here's another resource that you may not be aware of... However, it is a bit outdated, and surprisingly doesn't include the BNC-60AH equipped K-52P.
