However, if you have bought the gun used, it might not be a bad idea to remove the side plate and make certain the block has not been removed. I have heard of this being done to target guns.

Save yourself some time and trouble. Just buy a set of each in the smaller sizes. Sooner or later, you will need them.

I would say yes.
