I was interested in using these sleeves with a 4.125 bore.

Are ARE,LPE and Cartek using the same or very similar process for getting the 4.125 resleeve with the Darton????

I am getting a good range of prices for the 4.125 resleeve, with ARE (like $400 lower..exhcange rates??)coming in on the lows and Cartek on the highs. LPE surprisingly in the middle.

SIR -
I checked on the 4.155" sleeve yesterday and found out we can do them now! it will still take 2 weeks to order them, but if you want to do a 4.155 block, we can do one for you now. As far as I know, our process is the same as Cartek, but ARE says theirs is different. Call me if you're interested.
