The first set of rings has the dot that faces up , just like every set I ever seen. The second set, the second ring has the dot. The top ring doesn't and no bevel. The factory manual state it should have the dot. The instructions with the ring set states if it doesn't have the dot or bevel it doesn't matter which side goes up. Has anyone run into this. I would prefer to have a matching ring set.for both cylinders. Has anyone run into this? What would you do?

I run into this on a weekly basis, as busy as I stay. Standard procedure. Do like the instructions say. That's what they are for. Should be Hastings ring pacs. Doesn't matter if 1 ring pac is different than the other, so long as they are for your specific model.

Thank you for your answer, that was my initial thought. But wanted to make sure.
