Well of course you do. You shouldn't have a problem with that.

I'm having a little more troubly justifying a 4th one.

I tried to use my Solms-repaired M3 last night at the jam sessions

useless. It "whites out" by candlelight. So I guess I can chuck it and not
count it.

It can get cumbersome. You have to concentrate on what body your using
over and above concentrating on shooting.
