    I have really thought of just writing up bullet points like that Jim, and then posting the Ordnance docs under them and do it in chronological order. So that way you just follow the progression from the beginning all the way to the end. Then that way people can research it themselves and decide if they feel safe firing low numbers.

    I even thought of maybe seeing if we could put it on one of the forums as a sticky, or even just put it on the USMC Weaponry page and then people just post a link to it when this question pops up.

    The photo of the NM butt plate shows rhe faintest outline of the cleaning tube hole, but it does not appear complete with the hinge section. Is there really anything there?

    Yes, there's a complete butt trap there... Just hard to see because of the huge checkering, the line is in it.
