Piston rings for MW add power pistons

I was very fortunate today to get a NOS set of these pistons minus the rings . They are 0.045 oversize and do have the piston pins as well. Will Hastings sell the rings needed for these pistons ?

Yes I was able to get a set of Hastings rings for the 0.045 over M&W pistons in my '50 A. I measured everything on the piston first to make sure I ordered the correct rings.

I was thinking that at least the std. and .045" ones I would just get the sets from JD and they fit ? Just have to watch out for thinner compression rings on a model 50 compared to a B or a 60 compared to an A
But Hastings used to be very helpful and a good source. Not sure how they are today ?
