Thanks Bill,

I agree on the magazine. It looks like a "6" has been changed to a "0", but the dealer assured me it was original matching. I will be careful with it but I think I will be in the market soon for a mixed-match, and using that would make me feel a bit safer. (I suppose it's hard to just buy one . Thanks.
