Was ok but I cannot say it offerwd a significant performance improvement over my standard. Eventually someone wanted it more than I did and it went down the road. I don't miss it.

Not enough gain to be had. No shoulder to start with. Should be obvious. But it will make for trimming less. FÜCK Jeff_O! MAGA

Well there hasn't been that much Whelen talk but I also haven't had it afield yet so it's due.

It also looks like there used to be a magnum ring around the base. miles Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.
