 Billy, the face rings are a little shaky . Are you suere they have them? On
the 
ones with barrel, there is no other o-ring. The face ring is what Sherwood has, 
without the reverse threads, so they blow when the center spins in any
direction 
- a piece of goobery so stupid that the advice for this piece of dogshit had to 
come from some Cental Florida moron. 

 Another question for you. I see you are on my permits. I thought you lived in 
Australia. Oh well, there goes the neighborhood. - G
