SWFA 3-9 Low Profile Turret Interest

See my reply above it’s the brass post on the scope itself that is tall on the Gen 1 fixed scopes. They aren’t getting shorter with only a cap change.
I believe the brass posts are the same length on the Gen 1 and Gen 2 fixed scopes. And while they are definitely longer than the 3-9, you can still put a shorter cap on them. I will often take my windage caps off when I’m hunting and replace with the cap off a folding chair leg.
 
I did something like this for a customer years ago. However they were for knobs on equipment that flew at high altitude. Plastic knobs kept getting brittle and cracking. Went to a local machine shop and provided specs. They made aluminum ones that worked well. Customer had GWOT $ to spend
Minimum order of 500 made it worth their effort. If I recall my cost from the shop was around $39 per unit.

The rounded chair cap is throwing off your perception. Height of the turret cap on the scope is only ~2mm taller than the post. The chair cap being rounded I am sure is less obtrusive but its not shorter by any meaningful magnitude.

Nope. Turrets on the 3-9 are small enough.

Now if some came out for the fixed power stuff. I'd be interested then
 
Possibly windage. Elevation is just fine.

The turrets on the fixed powers are way too big, and I wish all target scopes would stop using external adjustments for windage. I'd guess everyone that actually shoots holds windage on the reticle.
