[QUOTE="Long Time Long Ranger, post: 257587, member: 505"] Montana, I read my earlier post and the punctuation was wrong and it looked funny. It should state, "I agree with you and you are correct". Then the next sentence starts, "In my opinion.... It looks kinda weird the way it came out up there. I don't proof read these things. I have never worked with the short mags until last year.
