preferably in close to new condition. i don't mind insertion marks but it's not like i'm seeking them out. 225 extension preferably but i'd settle for the shorter one i guess. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe

[RBW] RBW small bits trading post

feel free to delete if this is not allowed, for whatever reason. i and i'm sure we all, have collected bits and bobs throughout the years, items (smaller: think struts and bolts, etc) especially when it comes to nitto, I find that replacements cost an crazy percentage of a whole product. any
