Curious what is the component at the bottom of this 5" turret's front in the picture. Thanks!
- Mk dual 5inch

If you mean the small device on the lower front of the mount face, it's the training stop buffer -- designed to keep the mount from training past a certain point (usually to prevent firing into own ship superstructure).
