Looks like a nice gap between the sleeves

Benson always has a benson stamp on the block

His older stuff didn't have the stamp... I have one from him with no stamp. It does look like his work.

OR you can just request to not have the CNC engraving (stamp) done... LOL!

But it does look like an older block due to the gaps. His newer stuff definitely doesn't have those.

Kevin and Mach1n1st: By looking at this single photo, what do you see in the picture that definitely convinces you that this sleeve job was done by LA Sleeve ???

Not that it was done by them but it is their sleeve.

That is an old Benson Sleeve block. He used Darton and La Sleeves back in the day.
