Sorry for the delay as I've been off the 'net.
I bought my Shrick 272 cam new from Korman in N.C. It came with the Shrick wax paper wrapping and looks brand new, so I assume it is.
The base circles of the cam were indeed smaller than those of the stock cam. You are right that this is typical of a reground cam.
I cannot explain why the base circles are smaller, only that they are.
At the same time, I also bought a 280 Shrick cam and the base circles were the same size as stock. Thus, it would not require lash caps. But on a US cam box, the 280 cam has so much lift that the lobe interferes with the cam box casting. Therefore, reliefs had to be cut!
The Shrick cams that I bought do have timing marks also.
Lastly, I've only seen used Shrick cams for sale once and they too had lash caps. Go figure.
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me personally and I'll help you in any way I can.
Good Luck!
Douglas
