Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 9:02 pm I think I've seen this referred to colloquially as "railroad rim." Here's the first link google spits out for that query. (052) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed .com/partial_collar_strikes.html You can compare and see if this is what you've got.

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 02/04/2017 2:56 pm Oops. I'm not familiar with the terminology. I thought I saw reeding on the rim described as railroad rim somewhere. Although, now that I think of it, I'm not sure how a reeding imprint would get on the top of the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
