Good stuff there! I'm glad he made it back safe and sound. Any time you go to AFG and make it back alive, it's a good day.

Thanks

Thanks , he get's to come home in 2 more weeks for leave . We are grateful he made it home safe from Afghanistan . He picked the rim's after seeing them in a GM High Tech Magazine that I sent him in a care package . The rear back spacing is 7.2 , according to the order form . It took 3 weeks to ship them once we put the order in .

Glad he made it back... M16 not bad.. at least it has the collapsible stock... Theyre a bit more accurate long range with the longer barrel.. That's how I had mine done....
