Catagolue does not appear to automatically reorient guns at the moment, so please be aware of the convention when submitting patterns to the box:
1) The gliders travel to the lower right.
2) The pattern is in the last phase before a glider leaves the bounding box.
3) The width is greater than or equal to the height.

[R49 catalyst] makes a very nice edgy & sparky eater:

Here's a reduction to the p168 gun from 37x37 to 33x34 by opting for an LCM-based build...
Wow, nice to see that the glider manages to escape even when faced with a domino spark from the p21 honey farm hassler.
As a corollary, we have
gun_252 (=lcm(36,21)) reduced from 2132 (period-quadrupled p63) to 1972 cells, and
gun_504 from 2296 to 2030 cells:
