i would still rather deal with benson just for the fact that they got excellent service and support and i have never heard any horror stories about benson sleeves

they are the darton mid kit. they are a good set of sleeves because if you scar one of the cylinders they can just push out that sleeve and put a new one in. with other sleeves if you scar one you replace them all.

and my vote goes to erl performance. they are a little more pricey but the quality of the work is outstanding. give sean a call. 812-948-8484

Darton makes a real nice set up!

shameless plug, but if anyone is looking for a set of B16 Darton 83mm sleeves PM me, i bought them and ended up going a different route so they are sitting in a box in my bedroom.
