I like the 6.5 classic,and I don't see any stinking gaskets under the lugs.I wonder how they compare in sound to my 65 acro?Milled center bead?I thought it was part of the spun shell process,and done with a roller,and a die.Milled sugests an endmill,and a milling machine.AAhhhh Ludwig.Steve B
Those shells look "spun" to me...the bead looks like it's rolled in...not milled. My guess is that whoever wrote up the specs got confused on the process.
