Hello John:

We too are in complete agreement. To me an "L" seal automatically means that 
an M-anything older than say six to eight years needs a checkup. It might be 
a routine CLA or it might mean major surgery depending on its usage. I 
haven't taken a major trip in 30 years without at least two M bodies. What I 
meant was that if I were to take one body anywhere I would be just as 
comfortable taking my M4 as taking my M6.
Thanks for the qualification.
