Markus (I think I now have the spelling of your name correct),
My rods are definately MAP variety (there are differences), provided by one of SRM's U.S. distributors. That doesn't mean that he gave me SRM, because "gave" is the operative word. He had ruined my original-equipment rods and these were the make-good. It's been a bit over two years, so I wonder if my recollection of the communications is askew or if SRM got their own production going in the mean time. Just curious, did you happen to ask SRM if they were ever providing the MAP rods under their own name? In any case, sorry if I have caused any confusion or given wrong information. Perhaps I should give myself a -1 karma point?
