Interesting. I have both of my OAGs here in 
front of me and both *definitely* use the outer 
part of a standard T-ring. Now, since I bought 
both of them used I can't be sure this is how 
Lumicon originally shipped them. However, the 
fit of the rings is perfect, and the appearance
matches all the pictures I have seen of these
units. Perhaps Lumicon changed the design? Maybe 
someone else with this OAG can weigh in here.

No, it doesn't. But being right in this matter is
obviously very important to *you*.

What I will remember, William, is the belligerent 
tone you have taken with me from the outset. All
I did was claim you were "not quite correct." This
is all it takes to push your hot button? You must
have awfully thin skin. Read the text of my e-mails
carefully, please. I have been nothing but civil.
You, on the other hand, have attempted to insult me
(please don't play the innocent). It'll take more 
than that to get under *my* skin.

Perhaps not all T-rings are the same in this respect.
Another one from a different manufacturer might fit.
