Re: [Amc-list] LPG 258

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I have a set of used standard bore 199 flat tops if anyone is into the small bore six and wants them.
$10 for packing them and whatever actual shipping costs. They are still on the rods, but I don't have caps for the rods anymore. They wandered off somewhere.
