Title: Gray nicolls grading
Post by: mraza203 on June 04, 2014, 01:45:50 AM

Gents,
Can anyone help me understand GN grading?

For example oblivion E41 comes in many flavors.

I needed to know difference in the following:
1- 5 star extreme
2- 5 star select
3- V8

Thanks

Great link.
Based on link ,It seems like extreme models for oblivione41 are on heavier side.
